LAist & NPR present 'Inheriting' Episode 1 - Carol & the Los Angeles Uprising: Part 1
Carol Kwang Park was 12 years old, working as a cashier at her family\u2019s gas station in Compton, California, when the 1992 LA Uprising forever changed her life. Her mom was at the gas station that day and Carol was unsure if she\u2019d even make it home. At the time, she didn\u2019t understand why tensions came to a head in Los Angeles, following the acquittal of the officers who beat Rodney King. She also never understood why her mother insisted on keeping the business going, especially after the Uprising. As an adult, a personal crisis prompts Carol to finally start processing that event and her place in history.\xa0
