Celebrating lunar new year's at the Governor's Residence

Happy Lunar New Year from Michigan Lion Dance at the Governor's Residence yesterday. I had so  much fun introducing our amazing teenagers to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, State Senator Stephanie Gray Chang, and Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission chair Jamie C Hsu (even if in the middle of finals week), that I forgot to introduce myself to the governor.

Thanks everyone for coming out to “Asian American history and heroes” tonight sponsored by American Citizens for Justice / Asian American Center for Justice, and made possible by a Michigan Action Grant from Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. And thanks Philippine American Community Center of Michigan (PACCM) for hosting. What a great robust discussion! Looking forward to more community discussions. Invite me to speak for your organization!https://www.facebook.com/events/1404371969722514/?ti=icl

Talk: Asian American history and heroes for the next generation with ACJ

Writer and activist scholar Frances Kai-Hwa Wang (王凱華) will explore “Asian American history and heroes for the next generation” and celebrate the many contributions that Asian Americans have made to the US in a series of public lectures. Topics include the first Filipino Americans to arrive in 1587, the Chinese Americans who built the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War 2 and redress, the model minority myth, the fight for justice for Vincent Chin, the importance of Asian American activism in today’s political climate, and more. A writing activity will encourage students and families to write their own stories of immigration for a larger storytelling project.

Frances Kai-Hwa Wang is a journalist, essayist, speaker, and educator focused on issues of diversity, race, culture, and the arts.
