For decades, when violence has erupted in our streets, Maxine Maters can often be found lurking in the shadows.
In the midst of the L.A riots in 1992, she led a chant of “no justice, no peace,” describing the widespread rioting as a “rebellion,” saying, “If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable.”
