So, for my study group, I was thinking of doing some kind of reading material about March 1st, the Korean holiday in remembrance for their declaration of independence. I was thinking about finding some children’s world history book and finding the blurb about the day the Koreans shouted manse at their Japanese overlords. But what if I dug up these old Washington Post and New York Times articles from 1919?

• “Koreans Declare for Independence (March 13, 1919, The New York Times)”
• “Missionary Charges Cruelty in Korea (March 19, 1919, The New York Times)”
• “Girl’s Hands Cut Off (March 15, 1919, The Washington Post)”
• “Korean Riots Spread (March 17, The Washington Post)”
