VOICES Program
Uncovering a Legacy of Lost History
May 9; 7:00-8:30pm
The Korea Society, 950 Third Avenue, 8th Floor, NYC
Author Margaret Juhae Lee is currently a Bunting Fellow at the Radcliffe 
Institute for Advanced Study in Cambridge, MA. She will introduce her work 
in progress entitled, Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History, which 
reconstructs the life of her grandfather's struggle against the colonial 
Japanese empire. Lee Chul Ha aroused the wrath of the Japanese military 
government, who imprisoned him for almost five years. The legacy of forty 
years of harsh colonial rule colors the very fabric of modern Korean 
history and identity. Margaret Lee's memoir about her grandfather 
reconstructs the facts of his life against the backdrop of a country still 
struggling with reclamation of its past. Starry Field will also tell the 
story of the suppression of history through the views and memories of three 
generations of her family.
The program is free of charge and open to the public. RSVP by May 8.
