Remembering Rodney King

We were sad to learn yesterday that Rodney King has died at age 47. At this difficult time, we remember his family and his friends, all those who knew and loved him. And we also consider this nation and Los Angeles County, remembering Rodney King's life and the difficult days we faced together twenty years ago after his attack and the riots that followed.

We offer some news stories and reflections today:
