Did you know March 3rd marked the 20th anniversary when Rodney King was brutally assaulted by the LAPD? Tonight, CNN anchor Don Lemon sits down with Rodney King 20 years later to revisit the scene and talk about King being a symbol of police brutality.
Does police brutality still exist? Sure does. Unfortunately minorities are faced with constant generalizations and we're always the first to be pulled over. Race and Rage – The Beating of Rodney King, debuts Friday, March 4 at 8:00p.m. ET and PT on CNN/U.S. It replays on Saturday, March 5 at 8:00p.m. ET and PT.

This happened only a year after I had arrived in the U.S. I have always lived in Los Angeles & coming from a small town in Guanajuato, Mexico, these violent scenes remained engraved in my mind. My question to my parents at that age was, we came here for a better life? It was a hard thing to see than considering the violence & discrimination that existed more clearly in the 90s.
