The Watts Rebellion erupted after the arrest of Marquette Frye, a 21-year-old black man, who was pulled over by a white CHP officer in Watts on Aug. 11 on suspicion of driving under the influence. When Frye's mother came to the scene to yell at her son for drinking, a crowd formed and then tensions mounted. Authorities said Frye resisted arrest, and things got hostile between civilians and officers.
