Cornelius Pettus, right, stands inside his former business in South Central Los Angeles. Pettus, who owned the Payless Market next to the ACE Glass store, which was burned down on April 29, 1992, successfully kept the fire from spreading to his building. Pettus saved his business from looters by remaining at his business for a week after the first night of the riots while his wife brought meals to him. This April 29 will mark the 20th anniversary of the riots following the acquittal of four Los Angeles police officers in the videotaped beating of motorist Rodney King, which resulted in 53 deaths and an estimated $1 billion in damage.
