Looking Back to 1992 Civil Unrest
Cal State Northridge researchers found that the exit of hundreds of thousands of African American families that fled after the riots was driven by the same systematic racist that moved the mostly illegal Latino immigrants into the city's affordable black neighborhoods. “Remember that policies and tensions with police were the cause that pushed Blacks out and drew Latino families into the city,” says Pamela Stephens. “After the riots, between 1992 and 2007, the city's black population dropped by over 100,000. They were running or being pushed and the city's Latino population grew by more than 300,000.” -- L.A. Watts Times

Memories Of The Northridge Earthquake Ripple As CSUN Takes Part In The Great ShakeOut
"We all live in a state of denial," said CSUN Geological Sciences Professor Doug Yule, who was a graduate student at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena at the time and felt the shaking. "Because it's a scary thing. But the message is, there are things you can do to prepare so that you can be part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem. You're not injured and needing help, you're actually able to take care of your self." -- Toshiba
