A MORE TO TALK ABOUT CONVERSATION

Remembering Rodney King: Can we all get along?
ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION

Nearly thirty years after the Los Angeles uprising following the Rodney King verdict, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 returns home to the Mark Taper Forum to be reimagined with an ensemble cast for a new generation of audiences. In this conversation—featuring guests Lora King, Patrisse Cullors, and Robert Lee Johnson, with host Andrea Ambam—we unpack how Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 shines in a new light in the year 2023, following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent racial reckoning that rang around the world. We'll also uplift the names of Tyre Nichols, Keenan Anderson, and the countless other unjust acts of state sanctioned violence that have taken place since then. Through storytelling and open dialogue we seek to find answers to the prompt from Rodney King himself—can we all get along?
