The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA), in partnership with The National Memorial of the Korean Provisional Government, proudly presented A Special exhibition: The Beginning of a Democratic Republic, Korean Provisional Government, which took place from February 29 to April 12, 2024, at the Korean Cultural Center Art Gallery.

After Korea was deprived of its sovereignty in 1910, the Korean Provisional Government provided key support for the Korean independence efforts that followed the March First Independence Movement in 1919 and lasted until Korea's liberation from Japan. Established on April 11, 1919, the Korean Provisional Government declared its intention to achieve full independence and clearly stated that the country would shift from monarchy to democracy. 

The visitors have been encouraged to explore the roles and activities of the Korean Provisional Government and to learn the history of the support from Korean-American organizations for the Korean Provisional Government.
