Journal Articles
Matheson, Victor A., and Robert A. Baade. “Race and Riots: A Note on the Economic Impact of the Rodney King Riots.” Urban Studies, vol. 41, no. 13, 2004, pp. 2691–2696, Academic Search Premier, doi:10.1080/0042098042000294628.
• This article discusses the Los Angeles riots and discusses the long term economic impact that they had on the city.

Grigsby Bates, Karen. “When LA Erupted In Anger: A Look Back At The Rodney King Riots.” NPR.org, National Public Radio, 26 Apr. 2017, www.npr.org/2017/04/26/524744989/when-la-erupted-in-anger-a-look-back-at-the-rodney-king-riots.
• National Public Radio takes a look back 25 years after the Rodney King riots and explains the impact that they had on the United States.
• Grigsby Bates is a Los Angeles based correspondent for National Public Radio news and has authored published books. She focuses on cultural and international issues, as well as reporting of general news. NPR.org is a neutral news source that provides reliable and unbiased information.
• This article and website will be useful in adding views of the Rodney King riots in a form that is looking back on the event. Most of my sources are published during the 1990s, so I think this will be beneficial in adding a source that looks at the event from a different point of view instead of writing about it shortly after it occurred.
