Brilliant tradition of Korean youth movement
The league, which was founded by President Kim Il Sung during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to liberate Korea from the military occupation of Japan (1905-1945), was not merely a youth organization. As the one with the mission to pioneer the way ahead of the Korean revolution, it played the role of a vanguard in leading the Korean revolution as a whole until the party organization came into existence while ensuring the unified guidance to broad sections of anti-Japanese mass organizations.
The founding of the Young Communist League was a historic event that heralded the birth of a genuine revolutionary youth organization in Korea. It was of a great significance in the development of the Korean revolution and youth movement. After its founding, the league was engrossed in strengthening and expanding itself, guiding its affiliated organizations and enlightening young people and students and masses and revolutionizing rural communities.
Since the President founded the YCLK, the Korean revolution has steadily advanced along the road of development for the last 80 years supported by a powerful force consisting of young people firmly united.
Young fighters brought up by the league formed the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Peoples Guerilla Army (predecessor of the Korean Peoples Army) which was founded on April 25, 1932. Young revolutionaries played the role of the vanguard and shock brigade in carrying out Kim Il Sungs intentions and lines throughout the anti-Japanese armed struggle. They fully displayed all their matchless courage, heroism and the spirit of self-sacrifice in every battle against the Japanese imperialists, thus making a great contribution to the achievement of the historic cause of national liberation.
After liberation, the youth movement of Korea developed onto a new stage. Busy as he was guiding the building of a new society, Kim Il Sung paid deep attention to the strengthening and development of the youth movement. He put forth the line to unite all the youth who loved the country under the banner of democracy, and founded the Democratic Youth League on January 17, 1946, as the one and only mass organization of the youth.
Under the banner of the DYL, the Korean youth devoted all their might and wisdom to the building of a new society, the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953 Korean War against the armed invasion by the United States) and the postwar rehabilitation and construction to accomplish great achievements that will shine forever in the history of the country.
As required by the new reality in which the socialist revolution emerged victorious and the socialist construction was under way in earnest, President Kim Il Sung developed the DYL into the Socialist Working Youth League of Korea in May 1964. Being conscious of his deep trust and expectation, the Korean youth creditably played the role of the vanguard and shock brigade in the socialist construction as well.
By virtue of Kim Jong Ils politics of attaching importance to and loving the youth, the Korean youth have been brought up as the vanguard in defending the socialist system, the models of virtue who sacrifice their youth and life without hesitation for their society, community and comrades, and the heroes of creation and construction who take charge of and creditably complete the construction of difficult and important objects.

Ugnayan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Linking the Children of the Motherland) NY/NJ and Kabataang maka-Bayan USA (Pro-People Youth), convening organizations of Kabataan Partylist — USA Chapter, declare its unwavering support to the Kabataan Partylist in the May 2007 elections in the Philippines.
As immigrant and second-generation Filipino youth, Ugnayan and KmB share the hopes and aspirations of Filipino youth worldwide for genuine progress, social transformation and nation building in our homeland. We understand that the joblessness and crippled education system in the Philippines force thousands of youth and our families to leave the country every day. Corrupt, dishonest, puppet leaders have too long threatened our future, and we as youth want change!
We recognize that now is the time for youth to push for a youth sectoral representative who is honest, principled and pro-people, and will truly represent the interests of the youth as a vibrant sector of the Filipino people both in the Philippines and abroad. Ugnayan and KmB support the Kabataan Partylist representatives and are launching a campaign for their vote in these critical weeks before the election.
The recent arrest of Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo on false charges, the continued incarceration of Anak Pawis Rep. Crispin Beltran, and the impending arrest of Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Liza Maza are cowardly acts of a regime clinging desperately for power, and show a blatant disregard for the people’s will and democratic vote. We are more determined than ever to educate, organize and mobilize our sector to fight for justice for Ka Satur, Ka Bel and Ka Liza, to demand fair and military-free elections and to support the Kabataan Partylist, in particular, to represent the voice of Filipino youth.
Filipino youth in the Philippines and in the US face common struggles. Here in the US, we demand fair access to education. We resist militarism on our streets and in our schools. We fight for legalization, family reunification and worker protections. We struggle against systemic racism, sexism and heterosexism in all their forms. We strive to create a dynamic counter-culture that is free from the materialistic, career-driven, decadent culture that is dominant in the US. We work for the advancement of our community and link ourselves with the basic masses of youth, students, domestic workers, service workers and women. And we stand with Filipino youth in the homefront who are courageously fighting for our people’s basic rights to life and livelihood.
Kabataang Pilipino, tayo ang pag-asa at kinabukasan. Filipino Youth, we are the hope and the future.
Tayo naman sa Kongreso! Onwards to the Philippine Congress!
Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino! Long live the Filipino Youth!
Mabuhay ang pandaigdigang pagkakaisa! Long live international solidarity!

June 1951, a memorable day and week for our Town, Portadown welcomed HM Queen Elizabeth and the Princess Margaret at the start of Festival of Britain week celebrations. The original plan was that Her Majesty would have accompanied King George VI, unfortunately he was ill and unable to travel and in the circumstances The Princess Margaret accompanied her mother.
The King never recovered from his illness and sadly died 8 months later on the 6th, February 1952; he was succeeded by our present Queen Elizabeth II.
These six clips show various celebrations which took place in Portadown during that week. How many of us remember those events? I do, even though I was only ten years of age then.
Each clip is 7 minutes long, so clear some time to view the complete 40 minutes in six parts. You will see our youth organizations, sports in the Public Park and Shamrock Park, displays of Portadown Unit of the Territorial Army and our Fire service Brigade, not forgetting street scenes and the many local dignitaries of the time. You may even catch a glimpse of your parents or grandparents or yourself!
