30th Anniversary of SA-I-GU (KACF Event Today 4-29-22)

Join KACF, AWCA & Community Partners in remembrance of SA-I-GU today (4/29/22)

Although the reasons behind the [LA] riots were complex, the media painted a story that the unrest was a Black-Korean conflict rather than reflecting on decades of racial and economic injustice that marginalized communities had endured. This time of violence, trauma, and [devastating loss] came to be known as “Sa-I-Gu” in the Korean American community.

Similar to Los Angeles, the [New York City] events that led to the boycott and the implications of the [Black-Korean] standoff were much more complex than how it was portrayed in the media. What we learned was a need for understanding, empathy and work to address inequities that divide communities of color and keep them in the margins.

As community foundations, KACF and KACF-SF believe it is our responsibility to remember, reflect and learn from the lessons of our past. It is imperative to carry forward the longstanding work that immigrants and communities of color have done to lift our stories out of the margins, build understanding, and stand in solidarity with each other.


Join KACF, Stand With Asian Americans and our community partners for a documentary screening, panel discussion and community reception.
