Ending the Korean War: A Day of Action - Free Event!
A series of events on the legacy of the Korean war on generations of Koreans
and Americans and the efforts being made to work for peace on the Korean
peninsula. This year, 2013, marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the
Korean War Armistice, which brought a halt to the fighting. However, the
Korean War has never ended, and the current crisis only emphasizes the
danger of renewed hostilities.
