## Resource

I recorded this in early 2025. Wally Green grew up in a tough part of Brooklyn, New York, where life was dangerous, and he found himself in gangs. Then table tennis saved him. He later played in North Korea as the only American there, in front of 5,000 people. What he saw was very different from what we are told about that country.
