I think the question should be, "What hope did the slaves have on being set free?" The answer is, most had no hope in the 1600-1800's. If you were born or sold into slavery, it was pretty much the end of all hope. Some thought of escaping the Northern states, which had no slaves, but most were captured. If you were running away to freedom, it was a risky job. May men were willing to go without sleep just to find the slave. But, during the Civil War, a spark of hope shone through. And when Abe linclon issued the Emancipation Proclemation, hope was once again restored. Although that abolished slavery, most white people were still racist against them.
The Rodney King trial was important for many reasons. It was the catalyst for destructive riots in several metropolitan cities in California and sparked an intense racial debate. Culturally, the King incident was important because it was one of the first times a perceived racial injustice was caught on camera and made available to the general public. I say perceived because the images caught on tape came without context and with no way to ever know the true motivations of the people involved. What can be said without argument is that the images on the tape were brutal and showed a clear lack of restraint on the part of the LAPD. The public fallout was the result of anger and frustration over racism, the abuse of authority, and the fear the public had fostered of the LAPD due to a history of violent acts. Many speculate that the riots were indicators of a larger socio-economic frustration that many people had with their environment, which can often be linked to those perceived to be in control or in positions of authority. The riots and subsequent beatings of a white truck driver at the hands of rioters shone a spotlight on the condition of face relations at the time and the condition of life in inner metropolitan cities. It forced governments and institutions to review their policies, practices and staff and attempt to make their cities safer and more understanding of the people they govern.
