contained the world became aware of the magnitude
of the destruction. In the 72 hours between
April 29, 1992 and May 1, 1992 sixty people died,
and over twelve hundred were injured. There were
over 5000 incidents, 650 fires and almost a billion
dollars in damage. The facts are explored by an
artist, Anna Deavere Smith, a journalist Lou Cannon,
and a sociologist, Kyeyoung Park.
