Carol & the Los Angeles Uprising: Part 2
In part two of Carol Kwang Park's story, we follow Carol's journey to connect more deeply with her family – and introduce the family-led conversations that are central to "Inheriting." Decades after the 1992 L.A. Uprising, Carol finally learns what her mom experienced during the riots and how she made it back home. It allows for a better understanding of her mother, as well as her family's journey leading up to the Uprising – which she never had as a child. For the first time, Carol also talks to her brother, Albert Park, about what it was like to work at the gas station as kids, especially around the time of the Uprising.If you want to learn more about any of the historical moments we talk about on our show, visit our website: LAist.com/InheritingWe have a variety of resources for you, as well as lesson plans from the Asian American Education Project.Lesson 5.2 (Grades 5-12): The 1992 LA Civil Unrest https://asianamericanedu.org/1992-la-civil-unrest-systemic-racism.htmlLesson 5.3 (Grades 7-12): Building Community Consciousness and Coalitions https://asianamericanedu.org/building-community-consciousness-and-coalitions.htmlLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
