The Watts riots of 1965 had a profound impact on American society, highlighting the deep-seated racial tensions and socioeconomic disparities in urban areas. The riots prompted a national conversation about race relations, police brutality, and the need for social reform. In response, the federal government and local authorities initiated various programs aimed at addressing poverty and inequality, although many felt these efforts fell short. The events also galvanized the Civil Rights Movement, leading to increased activism and awareness around issues affecting African American communities.
