#79 - LA Riots 30 Years On
Manage episode 327017146 series 2847785
On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles exploded and became a virtual war zone because four white LA police officers were acquitted in the brutal beating of black motorist, Rodney King. Massive riots were triggered, but much of the violence and destruction took place in Koreatown. Lives were lost, businesses were destroyed, but perhaps the worst damage was the misleading narratives that were perpetuated and inflamed about Black-Korean conflict. 30 years on, there are still misunderstandings and misinformation about the root causes of the LA Riots, but activists, faith leaders, public servants and ordinary people have been working towards better understanding and more unity. May talks with Hyepin Im, President and CEO of FACE LA, Faith and Community Empowerment, who has been at the forefront of building bridges between communities of color. To Im, this is a personal mission to find answers and help heal old wounds.
