1919 April - After-Shocks of Mar 1st Movement - Christian Missionaries
Here are some snipits from my blog where I have been combing the New York Times archives for big events in Korea that match today's date....
Here, I offer a collection of items about American missionaries connected to organizers of the Korean resistence movement to Japanese colonization around the time of the famous Mar 1st 1919 declaration of independance for Korea. I did not go back in the archives to look at the start of this. I'll leave that to next March 1st... 15 Apr:   Another article from the 15th:     That is interesting. Syngman Rhee became South Korea’s first president. Also, I had a Korean prof who was highly critical of the March 1st Movement leaders and the leaders of the Korean factions in exile. His criticism concerned their inability to work together to accomplish much. To me, this touched on the fact that ideological divisions were already moving into Korean politics as well as the normal power jockeying that is a theme in the history of human society. In this article, in fact, one of those leaders denies there was ideological differences (by stating communism wasn’t part of the equation), but that does not hold up, in my (limited-educated) view.      Another article is dated a day earlier, but seems to be about subsequent events. Remember - this is 1919 - or - before the internet…  20 Apr 1991 - US missionary sentenced to prison and hard labor:  |

I'm guessing our forum members are not going to have much interest in old history, due mostly to their age and transient nature. We'll see.

Re: 1919 April - After-Shocks of Mar 1st Movement - Christian Missionaries
Yeha, and the North Korea Human Rights section is basically me as well...
but, I'm hoping to attract new members as well. Specifically, I'm hoping to get some more of the already established K-blogsphere bloggers to migrate over too... ....a forum offers more than a blog in the way of sharing thoughts. Anybody can write a main post here as well as reply. I am also hoping to get some of the people in the North Korean Human Rights areana to use the advantages of this Forum Mike has set up. The thing with blogs and websites is that they are centered on the one group or individual. With a forum, you can have a more centralized gathering - which cuts down on websurfers having to hit all the main sites connected to whatever issue - for example, the mainstay of this Forum - the military community - you don't have to surf to individual blogs to hear what others have to say.... Anyway......I like News Archives and blog about it and I'll add stuff here as well.... .....whether the pages get viewed much or not.... |
