Aoki Center Event About Exoneration of Korean Immigrant

This week, the Aoki Center on Critical Race and Nation Studies hosted Professor Richard Kim of the Asian American Studies Department at UC Davis. Professor Kim discussed the case of a Korean immigrant wrongfully convicted of murder and later exonerated.  It was based in part on the book Without Justice: The Prison Memoirs of Chol Soo Lee (2017).

Professor Kim talked about how political activism brought attention to the Chol Soo Lee case and helped secure his exoneration.

Students experienced a treat in hearing an expert about the case.
