You're absolutely right...the MLK assassination riots were definitely more national.
But we are all individually - at least partly - the sum of our personal experiences. At the time of the riots following MLK assassination I was living in my (fairly small) home town that was little affected. On the other hand, I lived in LA during the Rodney King riots. I got to see that Black Swan up close and personal. And it did forever change my outlook regarding personal preparedness for unforeseen events.
