SUMMARY:Community Archives: Preserving & Protecting AAPI History
DESCRIPTION:Fewer than 25% of all Asian Americans say they are familiar with Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history. Today\, as immigrant communities face renewed threats to their rights and safety\, the teaching and study of U.S. history remains a cultural flashpoint. \nHow do AAPI-led community archives preserve and protect forgotten AAPI history\, and protect community stories from being lost? How are community archivists navigating a changing funding climate\, and how can general-interest in-language and community news outlets partner with AAPI community archives to contextualize today’s changing political landscape and to engage their audiences? \nJoin us for a special discussion and interactive workshop with Filipino American\, Japanese American\, and South Asian American community archivists\, as we commemorate AAPI Heritage Month. \nIf you have any questions\, contact Kavitha at kavitha.rajagopalan@journalism.cuny.edu. \nRegister to attend the Community Archives event \n\nSpeakers \nRandy Gonzales\, Founder of Filipino La.:  A native New Orleanian of Filipino descent\, Randy Gonzales is a poet\, writer\, and community historian who researches and shares the stories of Filipino Louisiana.
