Asian Americans Who Have Shaped History
Can you name three Asian Americans who have shaped history? If you can’t, please don’t feel bad. Because we as a society, from K-12 literature and social studies, to the media and Hollywood, Asian Americans have been silenced and marginalized for over 160 years.
We have been working local schools and towns as well as the state-wide AAPI community coalitions and government bodies to address this issue, starting from K-12.
