The City of Compton, population roughly 100,000, was historically a black enclave where Gangsta rappers NWA and Dr. Dre were local heroes. Now Compton is 65 percent Latino and, after a series of violent attacks, a black family was recently forced to leave town. Sam Quinones reports for the LA Times.
