​SF Board of Supervisors Commends Bok-Dong Kim Halmoni* on February 12

On February 12, ESJF co-founders attended the San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting, where Gordon Mar of District 4 issued a commendation in honor of late Grandma Kim Bok-Dong. The ceremony reminded all who attended of the importance of peace, human rights, and the role that education plays in securing justice for those who may not have the means to seek it themselves. 

​*Halmoni means “grandmother” in Korean. This term also refers to a Korean “comfort women” survivor who has been involved in the struggle for justice since the 1990s.
