The 1942 murder of a young Mexican-American in Los Angeles ignited old tensions among local citizens. The press claimed "zoot-suiters"--based on their dress--were terrorizing the city. Police arrested 600 young Mexican Americans, with 17 convicted despite little evidence of guilt. Riots raged between servicemen and Mexican Americans.

AV Benefits:

Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.
