Direction of the Jeju 4·3 Commemoration Project

YANG Keumsik

[Director of Archives of Korea Democracy Foundation]

 

The content of the amendment to the 4·3 Special Act, passed on February 26, 2021, shows where we stand in the resolution of history issues. The amendment included several long-awaited provisions and is assessed as bringing us one step closer to a complete resolution of the Jeju April 3 incident (hereinafter referred to as Jeju 4·3). Nevertheless, we are still far away from achieving the goal of the 4·3 Movement, which is setting Korea’s modern history straight.

Through the network, the 4·3 Movement can become more influential in the process of defining historical memories and passing them down to the next generations. It can also expand its base in the production of various materials including textbooks, commemorative materials and educational projects. (Further details are omitted here.)
