Korean Americans in Houston: Building Bridges across Cultures and Generations
by Dr. Haejin E. Koh

The Heritage Society Tea Room
Free for members, $5 for non-members

What do an oilman, a school teacher, a lawyer, a community advocate, and an energy guru have in common? They are among the 11,813 Korean Americans living in Harris County. In many ways, they resemble anyone in Houston, attending school, attending church, working, changing careers, raising children, taking care of older parents, participating in the community, reaching for something better. Their stories demonstrate the diversity within the Korean American community.
