Revisiting Sa-I-Gu

Sa-I-Gu (April 29th in Korean) symbolizes the social meltdown and havoc when Los Angeles erupted after four police officers were acquitted in the 1992 beating of Rodney King. In New York City, Korean Americans also faced organized boycotts and other actions. Sa-I-Gu was part of an era of heightened race tensions and distrust of government when underserved communities suffering from institutional inequity vented their anger towards each other.

This community forum will revisit Sa-I-Gu fifteen years later and discuss the current status of government accountability, inter-community development, and civic engagement.
