Yesterday, Kim Yeonghwan gave us such an educational and inspiring talk on a broad range of topics such as his involvement with the 10-year old program of excavating the bones of Korean forced labourers in Hokkaido,negative campaign against North Korea and the damage it had done to the Korean communities in Japan, the Grassroots House or a peace museum in Kochi that Kim ran for 5 years, the US bases in Korea, and the railway built between Seoul and Pyongyang.
When Kim talked about the grassroots's campaign to promote the history textbook co-developed by a team of Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese, one of the participants asked, "Why isn't such an important move reported in the mainstream media?"
Yes this is why you need to come to Kim's talk.
Tomorrow he will give the same talk in English at UBC.
