March Breakfast Meeting

One day, on July 27^th,1953, a very homogeneous country with the same exact culture, people, history, and language was divided into two countries following the Korean war that started three years earlier.  The countries took different paths, following different ideologies – Capitalism vs. Socialism.  Their stories are dramatic in the extreme and offer important and poignant lessons for Americans about true realities of Capitalism vs Socialism in perfect “twins study”.  Jinny Choi will present a comparison of the Koreas between 1953 and now, 70 years later in the hopes for America to wake up and choose the right and the righteous path in this pivotal moment in US history.
