Asian American and Black Lives Matter

Over the past year, discrimination and escalated violence targeting Asian Americans since the pandemic have been a painful reminder of persistent racism against Asian Americans and stereotypes of being a perpetual stranger. It's a wake-up call that racial relations is an essential piece of the historical and cultural fabric of this country and Asian Americans need to participate in discussions of diversity and inclusion so that they are not invisible. However, many Asian Americans, whether US born or foreign born, were not brought up to talk about the complicated subject of racial relations. This session will discuss critical issues such as perceptions of Asian Americans, Asian Americans and race, Asian and Black relations and how to address inequity and current tensions in society today.

Join Jay Kim and Prof. Nitasha Sharma for an insightful discussion on Asian American identity, racial relations in the US and relations between Asian American and other minority communities.

This is a session presented at the 2021 3AF semi-annual virtual summit on 05/18/2021.
