Los Angeles, Part 1

Ten years after fire and violence rocked Los Angeles, Weekend Edition looks back on what happened and how the city has tried to recover. Scott Simon opens the hour from the corner of Florence and Normandie in South Central Los Angeles. A montage follows as Angelinos describe the events of ten years ago in their own words. Scott then explores the economic realities of south Los Angeles.
