Hi Jeanette,

My curiosity has got the best of me, so I need to ask what the zoot suit riots were about. I know what a zoot suit is , but a riot ?   

Best !

Hi all,

I have a question just in from a production assistant looking desperately for any news radio coverage of the zoot suit riots in Los Angeles, 1943.  She'd settle for newsreel footage with audio.

She has already contacted us, the American Radio Archive, the Museum of TV and Radio, UCLA, and several long-standing LA radio stations.

If there's anyone out there with actual audio or a solid lead, she'd be extremely glad to hear of it. 

Thanks,
Jeanette
