January 13th will mark the 114th anniversary of the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to the United States. Events marking Korean-American Day have been held across the U.S. We’ll take you there now.

A ceremony commemorating Korean-American Day was held at the Governor's Reception Room of the Maryland State House. The event honored the frontier spirit of Korean ancestors and confirmed the resolve for the Korean-American community's growth. The decision by the State Government of Maryland to organize the event stemmed from the special affection Governor Larry Hogan and his Korean-American wife Yumi Hogan have for Korea.

January 13, 1903 was the day when Korean immigrants first stepped on Hawaiian soil. In 2005. the U.S. Congress designated this day as Korean-American Day. Last year, the government of the State of Maryland became the first state government to declare Korean-American Day. Late last month, a three-kilometer section of a six-lane motorway in an area where a cluster of Korean stores are located was designated "Korean Way." It's the first road in Maryland to be dedicated to a specific ethnic group.

[Soundbite] Yumi Hogan(First Lady of Maryland) : "Korean-Americans must be proud to see their children take root and grow up here. This is further proof of how hard Korean-Americans have worked."

However, Korean-Americans have yet to expand their presence in the political sector, especially in mainstream U.S. politics, at a level in line with their social and economic contributions.
