LOS ANGELES — For months, Hyepin Im thought about calling Shinese Harlins-Kilgore, but she couldn’t work up the courage.
Im wanted to discuss the fatal shooting of Harlins-Kilgore’s cousin, Latasha Harlins, by a Korean-born liquor store owner in 1991.
A few weeks ago, Im finally called. The two women hashed out the tensions between Blacks and Koreans that erupted after the killing and the light punishment the store owner received.
