The
Taiwanese Americans will commemorate the
60th anniversary of the “Massacre” of Taiwan
(Formosa).
The “2-28 Massacre”, which occurred on February 28, 1947, is the event
when tens of thousands of Taiwanese were massacred by the Chinese. This
“2-28 Massacre” continues to be a dark reminder on Taiwan of the
atrocities that were committed by the forces of Chiang Kai-Shek and subsequent 40 years of dark ages of martial
law under the totalitarian Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). Today,
the KMT in Taiwan and Communist China (PRC) are still riding the after
effect of this Taiwanese nightmare to control the politics in Taiwan in
order to achieve the Chinese annexation of this free, democratic and
prosperous island nation.
The
March for Taiwan, to be
walked or run by hundreds of participants from Philadelphia
(the cradle of liberty) to Washington,
D.C., will last for 5 days
(February 24-28, 2007). When the marchers go through the cities of
Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., they will hold
memorial services. In conjunction with the March for Taiwan, there will be a 2-28 symposium held at
the Brookings Institution of Washington,
D.C. and a photo exhibition of
the “2-28 Massacre” displayed in the Capitol Hill.
The March for Taiwan will urge our nation, the
United States of America, to continue to promote freedom and democracy around
the world. We will urge the U.S. to specifically stand up against
Chinese threat to deny the right to self-determination of the
Taiwanese people. This event is organized
by the 228 60th Anniversary Memorial Action Committee (228-60 AMAC)
comprising more than 15 major Taiwanese American organizations.
