LECTURE 25th Anniversary of the Gwangju Peoples Uprising: United States / Canada Tour Sunday, May 15th, 1:00pm UN Church Center Boss Room 777 UN Plaza 44th Street between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave New York City www.koreatruth.org | gwangju25@yahoo.com | 212) 633-6646 Join the 25th Anniversary of Gwangju Peoples Uprising with 18 Cities across the United States & Canada in Commemorating this important event! This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Gwangju Peoples Uprising, the turning point in the movement for democracy on the Korean Peninsula. As part of the commemoration, a delegation from Gwangju will be touring the U.S. and Canada. The Gwangju Peoples Uprising was a pivotal moment in the movement for Korean democracy and human rights. On May 18, 1980, the people of Gwangju organized spontaneous resistance to liberate their city from the military dictatorship of General Chun Doo Hwan. Their martyrdom and the struggle for democracy and self-determination that followed sparked a fundamental transformation of South Korean society that continues to reverberate to this day. Now a national holiday, the Gwangju Peoples Uprising is revered as a source of inspiration for activists around the world and as a point of unity for the Korean people. As part of this commemoration, movement activists from Gwangju will be visiting the United States and Canada on a speaking tour this May to discuss the legacy of the Gwangju Peoples Uprising, the prospect of peace on the Korean Peninsula, as well as their current involvement in the anti-war movement against the U.S. military occupation of Iraq and Korea. In the spirit of Gwangju, we hope to welcome these two activists and create an inclusive space for dialog and solidarity. Our objectives are to commemorate and raise awareness of this historic event, make connections between the past and present as well as between different struggles, and create a point of unity for the Korean people. There are eighteen cities throughout the United States and Canada hosting this speaking tour and we would like to invite you to participate in this important commemoration. In addition to the speakers from Korea, we will also have available materials for a photography exhibit, 15-minute video presentation, and brochures to help educate and outreach for this tour. If you would like to sign on as an endorsing or sponsoring organization for your local host committee, please contact us at or visit www.koreatruth.org for more information.

Bam Bam and Celeste is the first fiction screenplay written by Margaret Cho, best known for her stand-up comedy concert films, "I’m the One that I Want", "Notorious C.H.O.", and "Revolution". "Bringing her "Assassin" tour to Dallas, Ms. Cho regaled her predominantly gay audience with salvo after salvo from her own verbal weapons-of-mass-destruction machine. By the end of the 90-minute show, no one in the president's family or inner circle had been spared. Most references were sexually charged or rife with profanity" -Dallas Morning News, April 2nd, 2005
