South Korean delegation in L.A.
Not even a sudden change of venue could deter the cry for
justice of a delegation from South Korea. The group had come to
the U.S. to protest the killing of two schoolgirls by a U.S.
military tank last June and the subsequent acquittal of the
soldiers involved in a U.S. military court. When the meeting
hall for a Dec. 9 solidarity forum was unexpectedly cancelled
by the administration of Los Angeles's Loyola Law School, the
organizers of the event--One Korea LA Forum and One Korea
Congress of Southern California, among others--scrambled for a
new venue. A candlelight vigil was held in a parking lot across
the street from the law school and was covered by numerous
Korean and Los Angeles media outlets. This was followed by an
unexpected march west of the school to a Korean restaurant,
where the delegation made its presentation before a crowd of
200 people.
