To really understand the history of international adoption requires that we understand the historical significance of the Korean War in leading to the transnational migration and, for some, displacement of children. The Still Present Pasts exhibit and programming touches upon this connection. On Saturday, two Korean birthmothers who are now in their 70s will share their stories for the first time in public. It will be a momentous occasion and I encourage people to attend.
