REMEMBERING A MOVEMENT:
THE FREE CHOL SOO LEE MOVEMENT TWENTY FIVE YEARS LATER

In 1973, Chol Soo Lee was wrongly convicted of murdering a gang member in
San Francisco's Chinatown. Imprisoned for 10 years, four of those on San
Quentin's death row, Chol Soo Lee was sentenced for execution until
exoneration in 1983. Investigative reporter K.W. Lee, wrote over 120
stories about the Chol Soo Lee case, prompting one of the first national
pan-Asian American community organizing movements in the U.S.
