KOREAN-AMERICAN CENTENNIAL – BOSTON MARATHON

 
Hopkinton, MA – This monument is in front of the Korean-American Presbyterian Church in Hopkinton, MA, just in front of the where the start of the Boston Marathon is. I tried doing some research but I came up short. As far as I can figure, these are Korean’s that have placed very well in the marathon, three first places, a second, and a third. The Boston Marathon was first run in 1897, so I am not sure of the Centennial significance except maybe that was the first year a Korean ran. If anyone knows the whole story, let me know.
