미국 식자층 내에선 한국전쟁을 The Forgotten War라고 부를 정도로, 존재가 공기에 가까웠지만, 이걸 미국 쪽에 환기시키는 활동은 굉장히 높게 살만함.
누구 말마따나, (부정적 측면도 없진 않지만) 한국전쟁에서 전제정권 속성의 괴뢰도당인 기밀성이 남침 저지가 한국의 민주화의 기반 중 하나인 측면도 있으므로,(일부 커리어 세탁과 까스통에 이용하는 몇몇을 빼자면) 이걸 굳이 깎아내리거나 할 필요는 없음.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The most impressive speaker at the “Realize the Dream” March on Washington Saturday wasn’t a rising political star, budding activist, or seasoned preacher.
It was Asean Johnson, a 9-year-old boy from Chicago who took on the city’s school board and Mayor Rahm Emanuel in May when he protested the closing of Marcus Garvey Elementary School on the Far South Side.
With Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, holding the microphone, Asean delivered a stunning message to the tens of thousands of marchers who had descended on the nation’s capitol to pay homage to the veterans of the 1963 March on Washington.
“I am marching for education, justice and freedom. All over the country public education is under attack. Public schools are closing in African American and Latino communities,” Asean told the sea of marchers.
“In Chicago, we have 50 schools closings in African American and Latino communities; budget cuts in all public schools and an increase in charter schools budgets and new charter schools openings. Every child deserves a great education, every school deserves equal funding and resources,” Asean continued passionately.
I’m sure Mayor Emanuel’s ears were burning.
Brandon Lewis, a senior at Chicago State University, said education is making a difference in the trajectory of his life.
“I was the kind of guy in the community with no hope,” said Lewis, 28, after the march. “I am from the real city — the South Side low end. And I went to the Marines right after getting into trouble. Then I went to Chicago State University and [majored] in African American Studies. Education helped me to see there is hope.”
Saturday’s star-studded event kicked off the commemoration of the historic “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and also put Chicago’s problems on the national stage.
The actual date of the famous gathering is Aug. 28th when President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak.
On Saturday, the Rev. Al Sharpton, head of the National Action Network and media personality, along with Martin Luther King III, assembled many of the nation’s top activists, politicians and civil rights leaders to not only reflect on the past, but to voice the concerns many African Americans have today.
“This morning we affirm that struggle must and will go on until every eligible American has a chance to exercise his or her right to vote,” said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, referring to the strict voter identification laws some Southern states have enacted.
In 1963, the agenda for the March on Washington was rooted in the atrocities happening in the South.
Fifty years later, the gun violence is a grave concern of urban dwellers.
Annette Holt, the mother of Blair Holt who was gunned down in 2007, appeared with the group, “Voices Against Violence,” to put the spotlight on the tragic losses.
“I think it was important and significant to be here because Martin Luther King was killed with a gun. We still have to battle those same issues: violence, housing, education, poverty,” said Holt after her appearance.
While many of the speakers spoke passionately against the stricter voting laws, Holt pointed out that saving the lives of our children has to be a priority.
“If we don’t get control of the violence now, we aren’t going to have another Barack Obama and Eric Holder,” she said.
Sharpton also briefly addressed violence in his remarks.
“We gotta fight against this recklessness that makes us so insensitive that we shoot each other for no reason,” he said.
The spotlight on Chicago’s ills is not necessarily a bad thing, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. told me.
“The crisis is an opportunity to address the issues and need not be seen as bad mouthing the city,” he said.
“It is poverty and one by-product of poverty is violence. Jobs out — guns and drugs in. That is why I think the president when he speaks on Wednesday…we don’t need so much reflection and motivation. We need legislation and appropriation,” he said.
By late afternoon, most of the marchers were starting their exhaustive treks back to hotels to pack for the return home.
On one level, that tens of thousands of black people could make the journey to D.C. without a hassle shows the progress we have made.
“Let us remember 50 years ago, some came to Washington having rode the back of buses. Some came to Washington never having the privilege to vote...They came to Washington so we can come today in a different time and a different place and we owe them for what we have today,” Sharpton said.
But when a 9-year-old boy from Chicago steps into the fight for a fair and equitable public school system, it shows we still have a very long way to go.

[Chicago SunTimes] Getting the word out on health care reform
Confused about the Affordable Care Act and what it means for you? Beginning Oct. 1, a full-court press marketing campaign will launch to change that. The state’s initial goal is to persuade nearly 490,000 consumers to buy insurance through the new Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace, made possible by the law.
With public awareness low and the clock ticking on a Jan. 1 start date for coverage, FleishmanHillard’s $35 million federally funded contract to market the marketplace was finalized by the state Aug. 16. The firm, which is partnering with five companies, is well-prepared to deliver on the comprehensive plans it detailed to win the contract, said Maxine Winer, senior partner and general manager at the firm in Chicago.
In recent weeks, FleishmanHillard has been conducting focus groups to help fine-tune its planned messaging, she said, adding, “There’s also in-depth, in-person interviews and online message testing taking place to make sure we understand the concerns people have, what kind of misinformation is out there. That will inform everything we do.”
Consumers will be able to compare health insurance policies and premiums, purchase coverage and apply for subsidies at the marketplace.
The campaign will unveil a brand, logo and tagline to drive people to the marketplace’s website for enrollment. An interim site will launch in about a month, Winer said.
Consumers can enroll in the marketplace Oct. 1 through Dec. 15 for coverage that begins Jan. 1, although the full open enrollment period for 2014 coverage extends through March 31.
The campaign will spend around $17 million on advertising via television, radio, newspapers, Internet, outdoors and transit.
By the end of September, FleishmanHillard will provide all the marketing materials to be used by 44 community organizations that were awarded $27 million in federal funds to help get the word out. In-person counseling for consumers will be available through these organizations.
“The goal is to have a consistent message, so it’s going to be very important that we work hand in hand,” Winer said.
The community groups and counselors give Illinois an advantage over other states’ ability to educate consumers about their coming marketplaces, said Karen Pollitz, senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit focused on health-care issues.
“Because Illinois decided they will work with the federal government to build out [the marketplace] and conduct this outreach, they’ve been able to tap into state implementation grants that Congress made available,” Pollitz said. “You’ll have a lot more money for that in Illinois than in most other states.”
Social media will be used, but not just for “pushing out information, but for interacting with consumers and using the information we get to inform the ongoing campaign,” Winer said. “It’s a great way for us to find out in real time what’s working and what’s not.”
The campaign will include a big focus on small businesses. Employers with 50 or fewer workers will be able to shop for coverage for their employees through the marketplace.
The state’s goal is to enroll 337,000 people from the individual marketplace and 149,000 from small employers the first year, according to Mike Claffey, a marketplace spokesman.
The timetable for Illinois’ marketing initiatives is on par with what’s being planned around the country, Pollitz said, adding that raising awareness nationally is a big challenge.
“Forty percent of the people we surveyed didn’t realize this was still the law of the land,” she said. “They thought it had been overturned or repealed. So there’s a big job to overcome that, and it’s about to begin.”
