Korean migration to Mexico centennial monument
text:
There is a monument in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico that commemorates the 100th anniversary of Korean laborers arriving in Mexico. It consists of a small tower and plaque. Korean laborers first arrived as contract laborers in Mexico in 1905. They arrived in the Port of Progreso, and settled in various farms and plantations in the area. However, their labor was exploited, and they never earned enough to return to Korea as they had once intended. This gave rise to a population of Koreans in Mexico. In
