Whereas the lack of freedom, government persecution, and 
policies of selective starvation have driven hundreds of 
thousands of North Koreans to northeast China, fleeing 
for their lives from prison camps or political persecution; 
Whereas the Government of the People’s Republic of China 
forcibly repatriates North Korean refugees and imprisons 
foreign aid workers who try to assist North Korean refu-

Whereas to encourage these repatriation efforts, Chinese cen-
tral government authorities assign local public security

able work evaluations;

reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a 
particular social group or political opinion, is outside the 
country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such 
fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that 
country’’;

(1) Prior to May 31, 1921, the community of 
Greenwood, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a thriv-
ing African-American business community and home 
to nearly 11,000 citizens. 
(2) The southern end of Greenwood Avenue

characterized by one-, two-, and three-story red 
brick buildings housing dozens of African-American- 
owned and operated businesses, organizations, insti-
tutions, newspapers, churches, and a hospital. 
(3) Greenwood was the location of the 1921 
Tulsa race riot, recognized as one of the most violent 
race riots following World War I in terms of blood-
shed and property loss. On May 31, 1921, to June 
1, 1921, mobs invaded Greenwood, the city’s seg-
regated African-American community, during an 18-

Whereas President Lincoln expressed in his letter his deep re-
