Lyrics: Amde Hamilton

It was 1970, and most people in Watts had become vocal. The 1965 rebellion (which was always labeled a “riot” by the usual suspects) had uncorked the talents and voices of many talented people who had previously thought they were powerless. until 1965 they kept low profiles, took their mistreatment from the police without rioting, and tried to make do the best they could with what they had. The rebellion on 1965 was a wake-up call.

Using this art form, these individuals from the Watts community depicted the daily struggles of their lives during the time.
