DEDICATION: To Hyun Lee, one of the best organizers and smartest analysts I have ever known. She dedicated her life to making the peace for a unified Korea. She left us in 2022 way too soon. This photograph was taken in July 2013 at a demonstration in Seoul calling for a peace treaty to end the Korean War. Hyun Lee, Presente!
