The Watts Riots and Joyce Ann Gaines

Today's show focuses on The Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. The time: 1965. A Black man was pulled over for suspected drunk driving while his immediate family members were present. Somehow in the presence of onlookers, fights between his family and police erupted. Rumors of the LAPD kicking a pregnant woman in the stomach and beating a Black man ignited tension between the growing crowds and the LAPD. The Watts neighborhood became a warzone for the next 6 days, but the question remains: HOW did tensions between Watts citizens and the LAPD escalte into one of the most severe riots in the history of Los Angeles.

Special guests KoolWorldMedia Productions will take us in-depth behind the scenes of their much anticipated documentary: "The Joyce Ann Gaines Story: More Than A Riot". We'll also have a Hot Drop from one of our FAVORITE producers in Radioloand, Ghetto Gospel of Hotwordz.

Of course, Club Meeshee is bringing you the HOTTEST MUSIC from around the globe! NEW MUSIC from Wale, 50 Cent, Drake, and MORE! PLUS, CLASSIC Hip-Hop and Conscious hits from the 1990s - today!
