Images of Gwangju

The events of May 18 to May 27, 1980, in photos, from “Records of the May Uprising,” a new book published by the 5.18 Archives in Gwangju. Some are familar, others have never been published before. An incredible monument to the brave people of Gwangju during an unforgettable time in Korean history.
