This is a lovely book. Ilryong has had a remarkable life, from his early years desperately poor in Korea to his teenage immigrant years learning American English and culture, through to his 20 years of invaluable service on the school board of one of the nation’s largest school divisions. His gift for storytelling enables him to share his experiences and reflections beautifully here. He writes with humility, humor, and a gentle appreciation of the good in others. A joy to read!
Anne B. Holton, Professor and Former Interim President, George Mason University, and Former Virginia Secretary of Education Of all the students I have had in my 45 years of teaching, none stands out more than Ilryong Moon. He asked for more vocabulary words than what I had been assigning the class and came up every day after school to have me read forty new words into his tape recorder. His story is the American story of hard work. His journey is an object lesson for all parents and students that grit, determination, and persistence in the face of challenges are the keys to success in school and beyond. Patrick Welsh, his essays on education and youth culture have appeared in the Washington Post, the New York Times and USA Today Immigrants to the United States often struggle with huge handicaps: a lack of English skills, an education deficit, and unfamiliarity with American customs and institutions. The determination to overcome those obstacles often puts them on a path to extraordinary achievements. Few immigrant stories illustrate that pattern as well as Ilryong Moon’s. ‘Hamburger Coke’ reminds us why our history as a land of immigrants helps explain American greatness. This is an inspiring tale. Tom Gjelten, Author, A Nation of Nations: A Great American Immigration Story In this modern-day Horatio Alger account that transcends global borders, Ilryong Moon presents captivating and amusing vignettes from his trailblazing life as an immigrant to the United States. Embarking on a unique trans-Pacific journey, Moon recounts how he overcame abject poverty in South Korea to attend Harvard University, become the first Korean-American elected to public office on the East Coast, and chair the school board of America’s 10th largest school system.
