opinion
 We read about Lincoln’s chronicle. According to the
history, many years ago, in America. There was selling,
ignoring, mistreating slaves as black people. White
people enjoyed it. But Lincoln made it changed. It was
big deal. I can’t deeply feel the pain of the black people.
But in Korea, we have a same history by Japanese. So we
can understand them. Anyway not only black people but
also yellow poople have been ignored little in race. I hope
it will be disappear clearly.
