What was the significance of the watts riots?

Answer 1

During the Watts riots themselves, the major change was that of goods changing hands: at least 290 houses and shops were looted. After the riots, a lot of recomendations were made, but most of them were not implemented.

A major change was that gradually the de facto housing segregation in Los Angeles disappeared, but that also happened in other cities and states in the last 4 to 5 decades and cannot clearly be attributed to the Watts riots. It might be said that the riots did bring home the message to the then predominantly white leadership that the days of officially tolerated racial discrimination (real or perceived) were over.
