“Songs of Love From Hawaii” Screening at the Korean Women Immigrant Leaders in Hawai’i Symposium
The early Korean community was enriched by several women who were leaders in education, social work, and promoting Korean culture. The 120th celebration of Korean immigration is the appropriate occasion to learn about the accomplishments of these leaders. This symposium will feature four Korean women leaders: Nodie Kim (Sohn), Ha Soo Whang, Halla Pai Huhm, and Chun, Yun Hee. The three women inspired Chun, Yun Hee to leave her autoethnography records.
“Songs of Love from Hawaii” is a music short film about the 120-year history of Korean immigrants to the Americas.
