About this Event

You're Invited: “How We All Get Free” – A Pulpit+ Exchange Series

Join us for Iliff’s Pulpit+ Exchange Series, an inspiring series of in-person and virtual gatherings where clergy, lay leaders, activists, scholars, ministers, journalists, and community organizers come together to wrestle with the most pressing questions of our time. Together, we’ll explore powerful stories of hope, healing, and action—each rooted in a shared vision of justice and liberation.


Paula Yoo “Rising from the Ashes: Los Angeles, 1992.”
September 29, 2025

Journalist Paula Yoo joins us to describe the events that led to the 1992 LA Riots, which kept the Asian and African American communities in an extended conflict with each other. She will also provide stories of ways these communities came together to resolve and heal their divisions.

Ultimately, this lecture and conversation will allow us to deconstruct the intersection of protest, race, class, and religion in the hopes that we can construct lessons for building healthy relationships between not only the African American and Asian communities but across differences in all social locations.
