Introduction of Memorial Hall
The Gwangju Student Independence Movement Memorial Hall is a hall of history that is filled with the holy spirit and noble mentality of our nation.
It preserves the history of our ancestors’ young souls that bled while resisting colonial rule during the Japanese Occupation.
It is also a place of life that can teach descendents the will for national sovereignty and independence. In particular, it is expected to be a good example for showing the spirit for independency and resistance against injustice of Gwangju.
Though they were young students at the time, this incident, in which the national pride instilled deep within them were expressed outwards, and has been systematically organized so that it could be handed down to this day.
The Gwangju Student Independence Movement Memorial Hall is a place that fills a page in our 5,000 year history as the most memorable student movement, and based on various exhibits and historical preserved samples, it is striving to fight against the distortion of history by Japan and China to recover national pride, and to protect the sovereignty of our democratically independent nation.
Furthermore, we hope to become the spearhead for showing our true history to the world.
Thank you.
