A Step Towards Justice: The 'Human Rights Lawyer Era' Exhibition at the Roh Moo-hyun Memorial Hall

The 'Human Rights Lawyer Era' exhibition at the Roh Moo-hyun Memorial Hall offers a glimpse into the life of a young Roh Moo-hyun, who chose people over power. The exhibition features courtroom photos, newspaper articles, and excerpts from his handwritten defense statements, vividly showcasing his passionate commitment to justice. His words, engraved on the walls, compel visitors to pause and reflect. Modest displays of old file folders and documents he used at the time add a touch of human warmth. The materials on display attest to his unwavering stance as a lawyer who always stood on the side of the underprivileged. While the space is not extravagant, it powerfully conveys his initial dedication to justice and conscience. By the end of the visit, one naturally comes to realize that the root of his politics was, ultimately, his love for people.
