Korea Peace Day plans at Univ of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Theodore Hughes writes: "I am currently arranging for a talk on the demonizing of north Korea by the U.S. and the consideration of ways to extricate the Korean peninsula from U.S. hegemony by a member of the faculty here. I will be giving a talk on the post-1945 history of the U.S. military on the Korean peninsula. This talk will include a discussion of USAMGIK, Nogun-ri, SOFA and crimes committed by U.S. soldiers in south Korea over the past 50 years. I will also be arranging other talks and video presentations, as well as working with the Korean studies community, the local Korean community, the campus at large, and Veterans For Peace to gain the widest possible audience for the event."
