Description
Image of a group of armed riot police running down a street with a blazing fire in the background caused by rioters in the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. TIME written in bold red letters at the top of the cover, a motif of Time Magazine. Underneath there is a quote from Rodney King May 1, 1992 that says “Can we all get along?” providing a harsh contrast between the violent and destructive image and the plea for peace in the text.
This cover story was published during the 1992 Los Angeles riots which were fuelled by underlying tensions between the black working class community and the Los Angeles Police Department and were sparked when the police officers responsible for the beating of Rodney King, a black taxi driver, were acquitted.
