This year marks the 53d anniversary of the Korean Declaration of Independence of March 1. 1919. The Korean March First Independence Movement proved to be a binding force in the friendship which has long existed between the United States and South Korea. Most of the Koreans in Chicago emigrated to this country within the last 20 years. and in that short time they have made a significant contribution to the commercial. religious. and cultural life of the city. The Korean Association of Chicago. under the able leadership of Yung Joon Chang. deserves special praise. Chicago honored the anniversary with a city council resolution designating March 1 as Korean Independence Day in the city.
