Echoes of the L.A. uprising
From an artist who made gravestone-type rubbings at the site of the riots, to an Asian American police officer’s personal account of the event, to a student who started a nonprofit organization to bring communities together, to an urban planner who is working to rebuild a safer Historic South-Central Los Angeles, the voices in this 360 video form a human library of sorts that encompasses not only the unrest, but also the lasting impact it had on the community.
