  • Watts is a neighborhood in southern Los Angeles, California. It is located within the South Los Angeles region, bordering the cities of Lynwood, Huntington Park and South Gate to the east and southeast, respectively, and the unincorporated community of Willowbrook to the south. Founded in the late nineteenth century as a ranching community, the arrival of the railroads and the construction of Watts Station saw the rapid development of Watts as an independent city, but in 1926 it was consolidated with Los Angeles. By the 1940s, Watts transformed into a primarily working class African-American neighborhood, but from the 1960s developed a reputation as a low-income, high-crime area, following the Watts riots and the increasing influence of street gangs. Watts has become a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood with a significant African American minority, and remains one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Los Angeles despite falling crime rates since the 1990s. Notable civic activities by residents of Watts include the "Toys for Watts" toy drive, the Watts Christmas parade, and the "Watts Summer Games" athletic tournament, as well as a local theatre and a dance company, in an effort to improve the neighborhood. Watts is noted internationally for the landmark Watts Towers by Simon Rodia, which are a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood has also been featured or referenced in numerous forms of media, particularly West Coast hip-hop music, and movies and television shows set in Los Angeles. (en)
  • Watts is een woonwijk in het zuiden van Los Angeles, meer in het bijzonder een deel van South Los Angeles (voorheen South Central). Watts telt 34.830 inwoners in een gebied van 5,2 km². De in 1907 gestichte stad werd in 1926 ingelijfd door Los Angeles. De wijk was in 1965 het strijdveld van de Watts-rellen die plaatsvonden van 11 tot en met 17 augustus dat jaar. Oorzaak van de rellen was de sterke discriminatie van Afro-Amerikanen en hispanics. In de wijk zijn de Watts Towers, een National Historic Landmark, te vinden. (nl)

  • Watts é um bairro no sul de Los Angeles, Califórnia. Ele está localizado na região sul de Los Angeles, fazendo fronteira com as cidades de Lynwood e South Gate a leste e sudeste, respectivamente, e a comunidade não incorporada de Willowbrook ao sul. (pt)
  • Watts är en av Los Angeles stadsdelar, belägen i South Los Angeles en dryg mil söder om centrala Los Angeles. Watts var ursprungligen ett eget samhälle, men anslöt sig till Los Angeles 1926 efter en lokal omröstning. Watts har fått sitt namn efter en jordägare i området, Charles H. Watts. Vid folkräkningen år 2000 hade Watts 34 830 invånare. En stor del av befolkningen utgörs av svarta, även om det liksom i övriga Los Angeles blir allt vanligare med människor av latinamerikanskt ursprung. Nästan hälften av invånarna har en inkomst lägre än den federala fattigdomsgränsen, vilket gör Watts till ett av de fattigaste områdena i Los Angeles County. Sensommaren 1965 ägde våldsamma rasoroligheter rum i Watts. Allt startade den 11 augusti när trafikpolisen försökte gripa en man för rattonykterhet. De hamnade i bråk med folk på platsen, och efter att poliserna anhållit en ung kvinna för anstiftan till våld kom rykten i svang. Ryktena sade att kvinnan var gravid och att poliserna hade misshandlat henne, vilket blev den tändande gnistan till omfattande upplopp. Människor misshandlades, affärer plundrades och hus sattes i brand. Efter fem dagars kravaller hade 34 människor mist livet, fler än tusen skadats och över 4 000 anhållits av polisen. Raskravallerna i Watts var det första av flera liknande upplopp i amerikanska städer de följande åren. Watts drabbades även av upploppen 1992, som rasade i flera delar av Los Angeles. De utlöstes efter att en övervägande vit jury frikänt en grupp poliser som filmats när de misshandlade en svart man, Rodney King. (sv)
