la revolución es la solución! stems from activist responses to the 1991 murder of Latasha Harlins. Kang Seung Lee uses kites associated with Korean memorial services and New Year’s celebrations to map out the responses initiated after Harlins’s death. Lee amplifies activist leaders who have worked across racial and class lines to rebuild their communities.
