Watts Riots: Rare Video of Marquette Frye

Marquette Frye

My good friend Tony Valdez aired part of an interview with Marquette Frye last night as part of Fox 11’s coverage of the Watts riots. The arrest of Frye by CHP officers is what touched off the riots in 1965. Tony says that he will have more of the interview Friday night at 10:30 p.m. Set your DVRs!
