Often thought of as “forever foreigners,” Asian Americans, in fact, have played key roles at pivotal moments throughout U.S. history. Asian American stories illuminate the history of inclusion and exclusion in America on issues such as civil rights, immigration and citizenship. The presentation will give participants a better understanding of history (1700s to present), race relations today, and how they affect Asian American students and families. Educators will receive a curated list of resources (scholarly books and articles, podcasts and videos) and materials that can be incorporated into lesson and unit plans.
