In the very chamber where Los Angeles City Council members once debated banning zoot suits, city leaders formally apologized Friday for the role the city government played in fueling the brutal attacks on young Latino, Filipino and Black Angelenos that played out across the city eight decades ago.The apology comes exactly 80 years after the dark chapter in city history where mobs of white servicemen - joined by police officers and civilians - roamed the city instigating brutal attacks on minority youths.
