5. Today is Korean American Day on January 13th commemorates the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to the United States in 1903.

The day also honors the Korean American’s immense contributions to every aspect of society.

State Representative Maria Robinson is the first Korean-American to be elected to the Massachusetts State House.

In 2003, President George W. Bush proclaimed a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Korean immigrants. In 2005, the U.S. House and Senate passed simple resolutions in support of Korean American Day.

Since then, states across the country have passed bills declaring January 13th as an annual celebration of Korean American Day.
