CNN Journalist Amara Walker has roots in North Korea. As an immigrant, she grew up in a normal life. But her father had a different childhood. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, which swept up Korean citizens, he was only about 7 or 8 years old. The communist regime was abducting young boys into the communist army. He hid from them and escaped down to Seoul. He vividly remembers the hunger and the noise from his tummy and walking barefoot. Ultimately, he wound up in the U.S.
This story took Amara Walker aback because her father was a stern and hardworking dad to her. This was a pivotal moment in her life, changing her perception of her roots and heritage. She said once her children were of an age she’d tell them their roots in the sense anyone would want to know about their roots.
