PBS Asian American Series
Asian Americans is a five-hour film series that delivers a bold, fresh perspective on a history that matters today, more than ever. As America becomes more diverse, and more divided while facing unimaginable challenges, how do we move forward together? Told through intimate personal stories, the series will cast a new lens on U.S. history and the ongoing role that Asian Americans have played.
Model Minority:
Asian American’s need to know about their place in society with the label “Model Minority” on their backs. Asian Americans should support the BLM movement because we are both minorities, injustice needs to be fought, and every single person’s life matters. Asian Americans who don’t know much about “Model Minority,” please check out the links below.
