AAPI News of the Week

1. L.A. activists recall lessons of 1992 uprising in new efforts on Asian-Black relations

The L.A. uprising, set off by the acquittals of police in the beating of Rodney King and the killing of a Black teenager by a Korean shop owner, divided the Asian American and Black communities.

Young organizers today say that until Asian Americans reckon with what happened in 1992, their communities will not be able to organize effectively in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

"It hurts us as a whole, not just the Asian community, but just people of color in general, essentially pitting ourselves against each other," said Tom Ngo, an entrepreneur who organized an Asian American solidarity march.
