Steady hands, determination saved Reginald Denny as L.A. burned: Working on a multiracial team to save a white truck driver who was beaten during the L.A. riots was a defining moment for Madison Richardson, a surgeon and black man who was taught that race shouldn’t matter. Photo: For 20 years, Dr. Madison Richardson has kept photographs, such as this one of Reginald Denny shortly after he arrived at the hospital, and other items from the L.A. riots. He’s even kept a Christmas card signed “Love, Reggie.” Credit: Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times
