Okinawan families pay tribute to victims of 1947 massacre in Taiwan

Matayoshi Seikiyo, a professor of Okinawa University, and victims' families prepare to pay their respects to those who lost their lives during the "228 Incident," a brutal military crackdown by Nationalist Party (KMT) troops on civilian protestors in 1947 that initiated what historians now call the "White Terror Era." Framed pictures on the table are victims (from L) Kane Ishisoko, Minoru Nakatake, Esaki Aoyama and Ohnaga Genchu. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
