John Cho, Will Yun Lee and Rep. Marilyn Strickland will convene in Koreatown on May 1 for LA Stories: Sa-I-Gu, an evening to mark the 30th anniversary of the civil unrest that rocked Los Angeles in 1992
Korean for “4-2-9,” signifying April 29, 1992, the date of the acquittal of the police officers who were captured on tape beating Rodney King nearly to death. Agitation over a prolonged lack of justice boiled over into violence, with Koreatown serving as ground zero for much of the weeklong physical unrest that left 63 people dead across the city, thousands injured and, according to KALH, more than 2,000 Korean American small businesses razed.
“Sa-I-Gu was a tragic moment in American history where the Korean American experience was caught in the storm of political, cultural and racial reckoning. It exposed the fragility of the American dream, which had compelled so many of our parents to move here in search of a better life,” KALH chair Kymber Lim said in a statement.
