Today we have a special interview in Korean by our intern Jonah Lee. Jonah interviews his aunt Amy Lee, a radio host  who was live bradcasting the civil unrest, informing the Los Angeles Korean community as events unraveled.

We begin with a short roundtable with our interns on how they first heard about the civil unrest. It is then followed by our interview with Amy in Korean. We hope you enjoy.
