Join LA Commons to explore key sites in the twenty-five-year trajectory that began with the events of April 29, 1992, and continues to today. Travel to Florence and Normandie, the intersection where tensions first exploded, hear seminal voices, and discover other venues in South LA and Koreatown that are important markers in the story of the LA Uprisings. The tour concludes with a discussion of how to guard against another uprising. Presented in partnership with LA Commons; $25-per-person, tax-deductible donation made payable to LA Commons.
