Here in bronzeville, I am seeing this entire situations and characteristic of Chicago in 3rd person’s view as a Korean woman. But in some ways I can see the same situation in my community in korea. for example, there is an visible and invisible boundary in seoul between
south and north with the Han river.
Anyway, the bronzeville, now feel comfortable whenever I go to south side community art center. Actually I think that uncomfortable feeling was not because of the characteristic of legging behind of this community than other side relating to the history of African American community. Because that kind of issue is also common thing in our community in korea, even if we are composed of same races. So, as a person who can see little bit away from, I really feel queer. But the gap between African American society and American society is bigger than I expected. I felt that when we went out to the street for murals. I guess am learning and seeing the true American present and truth.
