DESCRIPTION
Brent Seto and Bill Tashima interviewed HyeEun Park. HyeEun Park was Chapter President in 2013 and as a Korean American was the Seattle JACL's first non-Nikkei President. Park was deeply concerned with the lack of equity and equality in our justice system. Park pushed the Chapter to host an event to remember the anniversary of Vincent Chin's murder, to reaffirm JACL's commitment to the Ward Cove Act (extending protection to Alaskan Fishery workers), and to push the National Council to stand up for Trayvon Martin.
