Saigu | LA Riots | Uprising

30th Anniversary Commemoration

April 29, 2022

Thirty years ago, Los Angeles erupted in violence. Over fifty lives were lost, 2,000 businesses destroyed, and over a billion dollars in property damage incurred. Communities were pitted against each other, with the resulting violence destroying families, communities, and livelihoods. The Korean community incurred almost 50% of the $1,000,000,000 of property damage, witnessing the fragility of the American dream.

Three decades later, America continues to grapple with racism in policing. Asian Americans continue to be scapegoated and subjected to violence.

On April 29, events will be held nationwide to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the LA Riots/Uprising, strengthen bridges between communities, and prevent violence.
