Description
The 1992 Los Angeles riots were sparked by the unpunished beating of a Black man by white police officers -- but the deadly violence inflamed deep-seated racial tensions across the cosmopolitan city, with Korean-American businesses bearing the brunt of the carnage. Former Los Angeles city councilman David Ryu, a teenager at the time, remembers: "So what you saw was Black and Koreans in conflict, but in reality, it really was a poverty issue where the poor was fighting the poor."
