Maum’s Founding Director Dr. Park will deliver a workshop on race as a social construction to more than 100 Koreatown Youth + Community Center (KYCC) staff at their all-staff retreat in Los Angeles.
Here are two testimonies from two KYCC staff members on Dr. Park’s workshop:
“Terry Park gave a presentation on ‘Race as a Social Construct’ at my work’s staff development day last week. I have been a community activist for 30 years and his explanation on the topic was the best I have ever heard. Not only did he make it relatable and easy to understand, but he was able to connect the dots and show the LA Uprising in 1992 in a wider context of generations of institutional racism. He also gave inspiring examples of decades of Black and Asian solidarity. Afterwards, many of my coworkers also mentioned Dr. Park’s presentation being a highlight of the day. Highly recommend!”
And:
“Dr. Park presented Race as a Social Construct during KYCC's Spring All Staff and it was excellent. He broke down difficult, painful and deeply imbedded ideologies in a way that told a story and allowed staff to think differently about race. It is evident that Dr. Park has spent years researching this topic and has developed an engaging way to develop his findings. I encourage others to book Dr. Park for small and large venues.
“Thank you Dr. Park and we are so excited about our upcoming Youth Summit during which you will present to the youth of Koreatown, Los Angeles, California.”
