Jane Hong | When and Where We Enter: Reframing How We Talk about 1992

Center for Asian American Christianity

Dr. Jane Hong provides pertinent historical context surrounding the 1992 LA Riots, giving attention to the crucial forces that framed the event. She then offers insights from her own narrative as a child of Korean immigrant shop owners in Brooklyn, and now a U.S. historian investigating race and evangelicalism, in order to display how 1992 paved the way for contemporary Christians conversations around racial reconciliation.

The newly expanded Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary comes at a critical time in the life of Asian America. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial-ethnic demographic in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistence of anti-Asian racism. Moreover, minority and immigrant churches are poised to transform the face of Christianity in the United States in the next few decades. The Center for Asian American Christianity seeks to equip and empower the next generation of Asian American leaders for service in church, society, and academy.
