4 Why were there Race riots in the late 1960s?

5 Causes Civil Rights legislation was taking too long to pass. Even in places where there were laws, enforcement of equal rights was minimal in many parts of the country. African Americans were tired of waiting for things to change and grew frustrated with the inequality they faced on a daily basis.

6 Watts Riot Took place in Los Angles (1965). First of the Race Riots. Sparked by the arrest of a black motorist but frustration over discrimination kept many African Americans rioting for days. 20,000 members of the National Guard were sent in to restore peace, 20 people died.

After 5 days of rioting, 43 people lay dead, 1189 injured and over 7000 arrested.
