KSP Partnership with KAS for Stories of 4.29!

KSP partnered with Korean American Story to produce and interview Los Angeles community members who were deeply affected by the violence in our Los Angeles community in 1992. Legacy Project - Sa-I-Gu LA Riots is an important collection of Korean American oral history narratives and will be archived at the Korean American Digital Archive at the University of Southern California. This project marks the beginning of a bicoastal collaboration between KAS and KSP where we will work together to gather Korean American narrators to share their life experiences.

We are honored to present this video narrative of Soon Ja Rhee, who is the mother of @kyccla Kids Town Director Myung Jin Rhee.

Jung Koo Kang has been a very important and supportive elder participant in the Koreatown Storytelling Program. He joined during our Garment District cohort, as he was a longtime businessowner in the apparel and manufacturing industry in downtown Los Angeles. He shares his thoughts and reflections on his experience during 4.29 with us.

KSP is so grateful for the trust and openness that both participants shared with us. Please watch this important history of our community.
