This exhibit examines the lesser known history of the early Korean immigrant community that began right here in the Bay Area. As Japan rose to power in Korean in the early 1900s, Koreans from diverse backgrounds fled their country and landed in San Francisco. "San Francisco Beginnings" is a rare glimpse into the lives of these early immigrants, their community and their legacies.
The exhibition is accessible virtually at: https://oacc.cc/event/san-francisco-beginnings-of-korean-immigration-1902-1920/
