For Korean American Day - Interactive Korean American Experience Website
Korean American Day was first proclaimed by Congress in 2003 in acknowledgement of the centennial of Korean
American immigration to the United States and the contributions of Korean Americans. This is a great day to celebrate
our children's and family's connections to Korean American history and culture. A great place to learn more about the Korean American experience is at
the Arirang Interactive Classroom on the Korean American Experience. With timelines, lesson plans and historical information,
this site makes Korean American history accessible to everyone. The Arirang interactive classroom and history are both available
on DVD from this site. Both are great additions to your family's library.
