Philip Ahn Biography
from - Philip Ahn: Born in America by Philip Cuddy

Philip Ahn was in many was as unique as his father. Like Dosan, he was a universal man. He was an artist, a diplomat, a businessman, a patriot, and a leader of his community. These days his uniqueness is unnoticed and his lifetime accomplishments have been ignored. He has become somewhat of a forgotten man. Young Asians in the film and TV industry talk entertainment history like they are the pioneers. Present-day Korean American community activists act as though they are the first generation to encounter real social victimization. Many Koreans don't realize that there are Americans of Korean heritage who were as patriotic as any Korean born; and, truly helped put Korea in a position to participate in the modern world on a global basis. If you ask who Philip Ahn is, not many people know. Usually a non-Korean would most likely know more about him. Philip Ahn should be remembered well by all people because he was a person who made history and influenced many people's lives. read more
