This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles Rebellion, which began April 29, 1992. Talking about what happened during the largest urban rebellion in US history, what it means, and what it doesn't mean, are Carl Dix, founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, and Erin Aubry Kaplan, columnist and author of Black Talk, Blue Thoughts, and Walking the Color Line.
