Kyung Koo Park

Born in 1950 during the Korean War, Kyung Koo Park was the weakest child in her family. They didn't have much, but Mrs. Park recalls never going hungry and being thankful to her mother for raising her to be a strong and proud person. In this Legacy Project recording, Mrs. Park also shares her journey and what it was like living as an immigrant in South Carolina during the 70s and 80s. She has learned not to make assumptions and hopes future generations learn and communicate with the different communities around them while never forgetting their roots.

Thank you to Rayanne Williams of Atlanta, GA for helping coordinate this Legacy Project recording.
