One of the most beautiful shows that ties deep family connections to events in history - and ends with a future-forward mindset.

My wife’s family (parents, grandparents and aunts and uncle) were incarcerated during WWII because they lived in California and were of Japanese ancestry. Though I have seen and read many things on this topic, along with first hand accounts from family and friends, I found this episode unique in...Read full review »

I was a very young Korean American child during the LA riots. My mother, a songwriter, even wrote and produced a song for me to grapple with what was going on.

Thanks so much to the team for focusing on these families and what they experienced firsthand. We are all a part of history, and it’s nice to see an NPR show step up and make a serious, caring effort at helping people walk with folks who are so rarely represented in their full humanity.

Thank you to the families who participated and the producers for putting together such a thought-provoking and emotional experience for listeners! I’d describe this podcast as a bit of a combination of Storycorps, Heavyweight and Rough Translation… I can’t wait to hear more.

Just listened to the first two episodes and I can’t wait for more! This is my favorite way to learn about history, through sharing stories from real people’s lives. Emily Kwong gets to the heart of it every time with her compassion and empathy in her interviewing. A must for anyone looking for...Read full review »

Fresh take on the story. Told from the point of view of a young Korean American helping her widowed mother run a 24-hour gas station in Compton before, during and after the riots.
