I was recently profiled in the SF Examiner alongside long-time mentor and SF State ethnic studies professor Dr. Russell Jeung in a story about how Asian American history education is rare, even in SF.
I spoke with Craig Lee about the importance of learning about heroes like Wong Kim Ark, a case that has garnered national attention because it stands as the key legal precedent preventing Trump from negating the constitutional provision that guarantees birthright citizenship.
I’m proud of AAPI Youth Rising’s continued mission to share our One Day of AAPI History lesson that highlights the stories of Wong Kim Ark and many modern heroes whose stories must be told in classrooms. Check out the full story here.
