KSP Receives CalHum Grant

KYCC is a proud recipient of the Humanities for All Quick Grant from California Humanities for KYCC’s intergenerational Koreatown Storytelling Program (KSP).

KSP is an intergenerational, multilingual and multiethnic oral history and digital media program. As part of the California Humanities-funded public programming, and in partnership with the Los Angeles Public Library and the Japanese American National Museum, two KSP high school students, Abigail E. and Abbi-Hope Jihye Park will be interviewing June Berk, a former WWII incarceree on April 15. They will discuss George Takei’s graphic novel They Called Us Enemy, oral history, systemic racism and the rise of anti-asian violence.

#KoreatownStorytelling launched at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles. The program has been generously funded by The Eisner Foundation and the California Community Foundation.
