'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Yoomi Jeong Presente! Remembering Jeong, Yoomi

Today, July 25, 2009 is the 1st anniversary of the death of the Korean American activist, Jeong, Yoomi who got the diagnosis of the stomach cancer in 2006 during the struggle against the US-SK Free Trade Agreement and who passed away on July 25, 2008 as her beloved American husband Johnny Kline had devotedly kept her. She was a deputy secretary-general of the Korea Truth Commission and highly contributed to spread the truth of the Korean war to many international friends.

We, the Koreans and Korean Americans deeply remember all her humanity and devotion for the peaceful reunification of the Korea and international solidarity for peace.
Her death was a great loss for all of us but we, also know she remained us the task of continuing her struggle.

She has passed away. But she would be present inside us for a long time as many noble people have been.
