Sentenced to life for a 1973 San Francisco murder, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was set free after a pan-Asian solidarity movement, which included Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Americans, helped to overturn his conviction. After 10 years of fighting for his life inside California state prisons, Lee found himself in a new fight to rise to the expectations of the people who believed in him.

Specials and Documentaries | Promo | Soldiers Home - Women Founders
We have a group of women to thank for Milwaukee Soldiers Home, the National Historic Landmark that still today serves veterans with medical care and housing among other resources. Of course back in the late 19th century, women weren't allowed to enlist in the military but that didn't prevent them from enlisting to the cause. Tending to returning Civil War veterans was how they served. Today's veterans salute the legacy of these women. Learn more about them tomorrow when we release the first episode of our digital series "The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home."
