Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day 50th Anniversary, hosted by Councilwoman Dr. Suely Saro in collaboration with the Cambodian American Cultural Center and Cambodia Town. Cambodia Town Councilwoman Suely Saro This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Cambodian Genocide. On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge seized control of Cambodia, initiating a four-year regime marked by unimaginable atrocities. Over 2 million lives were lost through ex*****on, starvation, and forced labor. Survivors—many of whom later resettled in the United States—continue to carry the weight of that trauma. Long Beach is now home to the largest Cambodian community in the nation, and this event is a tribute to their enduring strength and cultural legacy."

"Team Gonzalez was honored to attend the 50th commemoration of the Cambodian Genocide, hosted by Councilwoman Dr. Suely Saro, Cambodian American Cultural Center, Cambodia Town, and Sophy’s Restaurant. We heard powerful stories of survival and resilience—many still healing, yet hopeful.

Events like this remind us of the importance of compassion, community, and honoring the past as we look toward a brighter future together.

Every year, I read a state resolution in honor of Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Week. Please click the links below for the video and Senate Resolution of SR-85 in 2024:

"What a beautiful weekend of culture, community, and celebration!

LBCC was proud to join the Cambodia Town Parade & Festival, where the streets were filled with joy, tradition, and an incredible turnout from the community. We were especially honored to see so many LBCC students, faculty, and staff showing up and showing love!

We were equally honored to host Sankranta at our Trades, Technology, and Community Learning Campus, creating space for cultural connection, storytelling, and celebration right here at LBCC.

Events like these remind us of the rich diversity that makes Long Beach so vibrant—and we are proud to stand with and celebrate our Cambodian community this Khmer New Year.

Choul Chnam Thmey!
