Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger issued the following statement today, after her presentation of a scroll to the Korean American Foundation in honor of Korean American Day:<\/p>\n

“Today, I\u2019m proud to celebrate the remarkable impact of the Korean American community in Los Angeles County. This year marks the 121<\/em>st<\/em>\u00a0anniversary of Korean American Day, honoring all the ways Korean Americans make our neighborhoods, businesses, schools, churches, and communities better.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There are nearly 2 million Korean Americans living in the United States, and we\u2019re proud to be home to the highest concentration here in Los Angeles County.<\/em><\/p>\n

For more than a century, Korean Americans have had a meaningful impact.\u00a0<\/em>Their contributions to food and music, for example, are deeply embedded in our daily culture through Korean barbecue and K-pop. Korean Americans have also made countless contributions that have led to innovation and progress.\u00a0 A Korean American was the first to perform a beating heart operation for coronary artery heart disease.\u00a0 Thank you to the Korean Americans\u2014past and present\u2014for all you have done to serve and strengthen our communities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
