Remembering Maya Angelou

so sad to hear the news about Maya Angelou today. i learned so much from reading her entire collection of (7? 8?) memoirs one autumn, about alternate perspectives and the value of all our stories. i was so proud to learn that an article i wrote that casually mentioned her work in passing that was hit by trolls inspired a lively two-day class discussion about her work and mine in which high schoolers who usually never speak spoke up. a lot. from 2010. #weneeddiversebooks

the intersections of family stories and history on Memorial Day

Remembering my maternal grandfather this Memorial Day, who was a fighter pilot with Chennault’s Flying Tigers during WW2, who took a train across the American South in 1945 to train in Texas for a year (with Connie Chung's dad!), who flew the last plane out of China in 1949... Thanks to all our vets as we think about the intersections of family stories and history in "Grandfather Walking" on page 109 of Kartika Review http://issuu.com/kartikareview/docs/kartika_issue16

My heart is heavy and my thoughts are with all the families in Santa Barbara.

Speaking today for AAPI Heritage Month

And that's it for APA/AAPI Heritage Month for me. Broadcast to US military worldwide, they told me afterwards. With shoutouts to "Fresh off the Boat" and Corky Lee's new Transcontinental Railroad photograph, although they said they'd have to bleep out my calling Tammy Duckworth "totally badass." oops. Even though she is. (Go Google "Tammy Duckworth eviscerates contractor" and smile).

My memories of the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum begin in the old museum's preschool room, with my toddlers crawling on and around the big red fire truck, trying on different firefighter coats, and cooking up strange concoctions in the play kitchen. But as the children have grown up, so has the way we love our museum.

TechTwilight is an evening of nerdlicious fun for all ages featuring more than thirty local tech companies and nonprofits showing off their latest innovations and interactive technologies, sharing their excitement about science and technology with the community, and fundraising to support the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum and its mission to educate young people about science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

Bookbound on #WeNeedDiverseBooks

From my friend Megan Blackshear at Bookbound Bookstore in AnnArbor Michigan. You can reach them at www.bookboundbookstore.com and www.facebook.com/bookboundbookstore:

#WeNeedDiverseBooks

Over the last few weeks, there has been some controversy about the lack of diversity in the book world, from the skin color of characters in children's books to the authors represented at major industry events. Discussions have been sparked on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere in recent days. We believe this is a very important conversation to have, although we've struggled with trying to fit our thoughts into a 140 character tweet.

We need diverse books because otherwise we wouldn't be doing our job as a community bookstore. Simply put, we are in a very diverse neighborhood and we want our books to reflect our customers' varied interests. We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome in our store.

Many people read to feel connected - to a character, an idea, an emotion, an identity - and to know they are not alone. Too many folks are marginalized and underrepresented, are struggling with identity, or just 'feel different'. Knowing that someone else, somewhere, sometime, felt this way too and managed to survive and thrive can make a real difference in one's life.

Books are a vital source of education and information. We can learn about people and places that are different from ourselves in terms of nationality, race, class, religion, gender orientation, sexual preference, and overall life experience. We can read about ideas that challenge the mainstream. Books give us a chance to walk a mile in someone else's shoes if we are open to it. They allow us to relate to 'the other', and to realize we may have more in common than we thought. Perhaps they can help us navigate this world with curiosity and appreciation for diversity rather than fear of the unknown.  

Books can have a profound impact. They matter. We need diverse books.

InCultureParent | Why Diversity in Children’s Books Matters

thanks to InCultureParent.com for bringing back an article I wrote just in time for #weneeddiversebooks

I recently received an e-mail from a Caucasian reader in Pennsylvania whose gifted seven-year-old daughter would rather be normal than smart. We think we have come such a long way; her father struggles to convince her that there are lots of other smart kids around the world who do well in math, yet this seven-year-old girl already knows.

The ache to be normal does not necessarily follow lines of color or culture or class.

Books are one way to expand the definition of normal beyond that presented in the mainstream. Through books, we can peer into another world, appreciate another point of view, find resonance where we did not expect it.

Roundup of responses to Neal Rubin's terrible article in Detroit News dissing Vincent Chin case

I've been keeping a roundup of responses to Neal Rubin's terrible article in Detroit News trying to rewrite the Vincent Chin case over at RememberingVincentChin.com, so please go there for more up to date information or for a chronological record of the responses. Here is a summary, with the best articles on top.

Truly beautiful analysis and convo from the great Jeff Yang with quotes from Helen Zia, Renee Tajima-Peña Curtis Chin and Neal Rubin too about Neal Rubin Detroit News article in context of larger issue of Bundy and Sterling and wishing racism would just go away already.
Pretending racism doesn’t exist won’t make it go away - Quartz

Powerful statement from Stewart Kwoh at Asian Americans Advancing Justice LA:

Frank Wu's excellent response against Neal Rubin's aggravating revisionist history in Detroit News. Get all your facts straight here:

From Jenn Fang at Reappropriate, updated with images of the almost original article vs what it says now (several changes were made after the original time of publication at April 29 1:03 am ish without any editorial note about the updates--bad journalistic practice).

Roundup from Randall Yip in AsAmNews:
AsAm News | Asian Americans react with outrage at attempt to revise Asian American history

And here is my initial respose:

Hey Neal Rubin, According to the juror interviewed in the Academy Award winning documentary, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" the jurors in Detroit federal trial found Ms. Racine Colwell to be THE most credible witness in the whole trial. You also forgot about the part where Ebens and Nitz paid Jimmy Perry $20 to help them hunt down "the Chinaman," before finally finding him at the McDonald's. Yes, Ronald Ebens was employed at Chrysler at the time (and Nitz had recently been laid off)--that was one of the reasons cited by Judge Kaufmann for the lenient sentence, that having a job gives one license to kill--but that does not mean that this case still was not all about race. Rather than relying on random third-hand information for a convoluted argument, you should do some research before launching your revisionist history and irresponsible journalism. The Michigan State Bar has deemed this case a Michigan Legal Milestone. You should talk to them.
--Frances Kai-Hwa Wang

Here is Neal Rubin's terrible article in The Detroit News (Note: the content has been changed several times since first publication April 29, 2014, 1:03 am ish without any editor's notes regarding the updates):
