(Original Caption) 8/13/1965-Los Angeles, CA: Three stores burn to the ground on Avalon Blvd. in the Watts area as the fire department was unable to get to the scene of the fire due to rioting by Negroes. Burning, looting mobs ruled the Watts section of Los Angeles in what the police have called the worst riot in the city's history. Acting Gov. Glenn Anderson has ordered the National Guard to help put down the violence and looting by several thousand Negroes in the area. (Original Caption)
