"I wonder about the accumulated knowledge and oral histories documented by C’s friend, a surfer in San Diego who at the time of the L.A. riots was the only Korean journalist reporting on relationships between Korean shopkeepers and Black folks protesting police brutality in South Central."---hi!! I'm catching up on your writing this morning, and found this passage extremely tantalising; may I ask you for the name of this journalist, or for any direction for how I might find/read this work? Thank you!! Not least for writing in such a thoughtful, complicated, dialectical fashion :+}
