Based on the growing literature on post-Civil Unrest Los Angeles and Korean American politics, 45 in-depth interviews and fieldwork conducted in the Summer of 1996, this paper examines the political formation of Korean Americans in Los Angeles since the Civil Unrest of 1992.
Even as Civil Unrest began on April 29, 1992, the public discourse surrounding the causes of the Civil Unrest implicated Korean Americans as a major contributing factor (Oliver, Johnson, Farrell 1993 and Morrison and Lowry 1994).
While her appearance in Nightline did little to reshape the discourse on the Civil Unrest, her entry into the debate nonetheless marked an important turning point in Korean American politics: for the first time in the community’s short history, a spokesperson emerged whose political ties fell outside of the entrenched Korean American community power structure.

 O. J. Simpson
Faced with murder charges his lawyers convinced the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to allow Simpson to turn himself in at 11 AM on June 17 even though the double murder charge meant no bail and a possible death penalty verdict.
Polls and surveys at the time indicated that the public's opinion of whether Simpson was the murderer split along racial lines, but rather than try the crime in the mostly white Santa Monica, California, the prosecution decided to have the trial in Los Angeles.
From an original jury pool of 40% white, 28% fl, 17% Hispanic, and 15% Asian, the final jury for the trial had 10 women and 2 men, of which there were 8 fls, 2 Hispanics, 1 half-Native American, half-white, and 1 white female.

 Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 Summary & Essays - Anna Deavere Smith
The play's unifying focus is the civil unrest in Los Angeles following the April, 1992, verdict in the first Rodney King trial, presented from the perspective of the wide range of persons that Smith interviewed.
Although Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the Pulitzer jury disqualified it on the grounds that it was not fictional and could only be performed by the interviewer-playwright herself.
Its intention is clear, however; the piece documents a critical time of racial division and civil unrest, not to place blame for what happened, but to help the process of healing through a kaleidoscopic and sympathetic rendering of different viewpoints.
