Cambodians In Long Beach

The City of Long Beach has the largest Cambodian population in America. Cambodians came to Long Beach as refugees from the Killing Fields, the holocaust perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge. Their small businesses line Anaheim Street, an area that the Cambodians of Long Beach would like to designate "Cambodia Town." Joining Host Larry Mantle is James Dok, Pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in both Long Beach and Redondo Beach. Mr. Dok is also the Executive Director of the United Cambodian Community, a multi-cultural, non-profit organization serving the Cambodian community living in Long Beach, and Prach Ly, a 24-year old Cambodian musician and music producer. They discuss the Cambodian refugee experience, as well as assimilation and growing up Cambodian in Long Beach.
