Anniv. of 1960 pro-democracy movement

Patriots and Veterans Affairs Minister Kang Jung-ai speaks during a ceremony in the southeastern city of Daegu on Feb. 28, 2025, to mark the 65th anniversary of a pro-democracy demonstration. Hundreds of students of the city's eight high schools rose up against the dictatorial regime of then President Rhee Syng-man on Feb. 28, 1960, helping lead to a national protest on April 19, 1960, that forced the president to step down.
