Martin Luther king always tried to make compromises with white people to try and give black people a better life. "King promised to do "all in my power" to persuade the police chief and mayor to talk with residents." In this document white policemen stopped and harrassed two black brothers and a crowd of black people reacted in an extreme way and started a riot that lasted for 6 days. King felt compelled to go to Los Angeles and encourage peace. He convinced the crowd that a riot was not the way to make a point. In the end he brought peace between the whites and the blacks.
What is a riot? Why do some incidents become riots?
A riot is a group of people who feel the need to start a protest and bring destruction to make their point. A riot starts because when people try and make a point and they dont get to the point of peace, it can become physical and it can bring destruction.
