The Korea Exposure & Education Program (KEEP) was created in 1994 by activists in New York City, Los Angeles and Seoul who wanted to help build solidarity and learn from the struggles for peace, social justice, and unification taking place in Korea. We felt that these types of experiences are an important step toward understanding the history and role of Koreans here in the United States. We continue to hope that such knowledge will be a catalyst for a new generation of progressive activism and community leadership.
