Civil Rights Historical Journal Entry Tonight I
August 11th, 1965 – Tonight I awoke to the unmistakable sounds of long restrained rage being freed from its cage. My neighbors are in the street below the grocery store I've owned for nearly two decades, decent folks who are simply trying to earn a living and raise their families the right way. While most of them are Black, and have been since the bigoted practice of "blockbusting" drove most of the Whites to migrate en masse from the neighborhood of Watts (Simpson, 2012), these people are my neighbors, and in most cases, my dear friends. Tonight though, they have become an angry mob growing larger by the minute, a constellation of fierce eyes flashing amidst the darkness, orbiting slowly around a police car, the White cop driving it, and the young Black man he is trying to arrest. As the screams and shouts become more pitched, and the frenzy of fighting intensifies in the street beneath me, I draw the window shades shut and return to bed, but sleep is slow to come. I cannot shake the suspicion that tonight's skirmish will be merely the first in a longer battle that has been a long time coming.
