Korean American Day

The unique fusion of Korean and American cultures creates a rich tapestry of art, music, food, and language that's not to be missed!

Celebrating the achievements and contributions of Korean Americans to the United States, Korean American Day is observed annually on January 13th—the date of the first Korean immigrants’ arrival on U.S. soil. Korean American Day is recognized as a time for Korean Americans to reflect on their history, celebrate their culture, and honor the sacrifices of their ancestors who came to the United States seeking a better life.

History of Korean American Day

On January 13, 1903, a group of 102 immigrants, mostly young men, arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii on the RMS Gaelic. They were the first Korean immigrants to arrive in the United States, and sought a better life, hoping to find work in the sugarcane plantations.

The holiday was first celebrated in 2002 and is recognized by the United States government, but is not a federal holiday.

Korean American Day Timeline

January 13, 1903

Arrival of the RMS Gaelic

August 15, 1948

Republic of Korea established

After Japan’s defeat in World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union divide the Korean Peninsula along the 38th parallel. The United States establishes the Republic of Korea in the southern half, while the Soviet Union establishes the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the north.

June 25, 1950

Korean War begins

The Korean War breaks out when the North Korean People’s Army invades South Korea. The United States comes to the aid of South Korea and leads a coalition of United Nations forces in the war. The conflict ultimately ends in 1953 with an armistice, but no official peace treaty is signed.

October 3, 1965

Immigration and Nationality Act is passed

This act abolishes the national origins quota system that had been in place since the 1920s, allowing for a more diverse range of immigrants to come to the United States. As a result, the number of Korean immigrants to the United States increases significantly.

Korean American Day established

After its first proclamation by President George W. Bush in 2003, Korean American Day is officially founded as a holiday by the U.S. House and Senate.

if you stop to think about it, the US is criminal towards Cuba, North Korea (and China at times) because these countries, with their revolutionary processes and all the victories theyve conquered pose a threat to them. people cannot be allowed to understand the fact that housing, food, education, health services, employment and other basic needs can be provided outside of a capitalist reality to everyone, with good quality, free or almost free of cost. and since they cant prove these facts wrong, they disseminate and reinforce the propaganda that there is no freedom of thought, no freedom of expression, because that is the only thing they can attack.

#dont you go CRAZY thinking about this???#no one in cuba dies of hunger #no one in north korea is sleeping on the streets #imagine not going under debt for your entire life bcos you got free education #imagine lifting over 800mi of people out of poverty in 40 fucking years #top 13 countries with the biggest % ( top 3 around 90!!!) of households owning the property where they live are ex USSR countries!!!#thats socialism for you babeyyyyyyyyyy #BOLD of anyone to think that I would mind not being able to openly express myself #if i had a house food on the table a job that doesnt explore me a national health system and free education #either free services or affordable ones #iD LIVE FUCKIN SILENT AND HAPPY thats what #a socialist society is the only one that can provide all its citizens with a dignified life #mr

i reached into the murky depths of my most pointless accumulated esoteric knowledge to solve some guy’s UNEXPLAINABLE CREEPY REDDIT STORY THAT HAS HAUNTED HIM FOR YEARS and he didn’t even say thanks, like helloooo i showed u my syndromes pls respond

#tldr he went to basel with some friends on a friday during the summer of 2006 and the place turned into a ghost town after a certain time #like fully 'lights on/shops open/music playing but no-one around' ghost town #they found 1 person in a restaurant who seemed annoyed to see them then served them gross food and disappeared #AND IT WAS SPOOKY #even hearing the year 2006 activates my football fan sleeper agent programming so #and im like. oh bro the friday ur talking about is probably june 23rd when switzerland was playing s korea in the world cup #it was an extremely important game which decided whether they were going to progress to the knock out stage so EVERYONE would have been #watching it and also town would have been quieter than usual anyway bc the wc was being hosted in germany like an hour away #(in yuro towns its extremely common for EVERYONE to down tools and watch the game if ur country is playing no matter what or when)#the waitress probably came out to stretch her legs at half time and they served whatever slop they could get out in less than 15 min #and she was pissed she might miss some of the second half #and he didnt even acknowledge i had solved this mystery that had been plaguing him for 16 years #they should have hunted him through the streets for sport (swiss ppl are like that anyway)
