In June 1943, it made them targets. For about a week, mobs of sailors, soldiers, and Marines attacked young men across Los Angeles while police arrested the victims and newspapers cheered. In this episode, we explore the wartime rationing, the Sleepy Lagoon trial, and the press coverage that set the stage for the Zoot Suit Riots \u2014 and how long it took Los Angeles to admit what really happened. \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f History Shorts is a daily history podcast hosted by historian and author of Eight Days in August, Peter Zablocki.
