Immigrant History Initiative What Can You Do?

This week’s interview is with the founders of Immigrant History Initiative, Kathy Lu and Julia Chang Wang. Their organization’s self described mission is to educate and empower communities through the untold stories of immigrant diasporas in America. They strive to fundamentally change how we learn, talk, and think about race, migration and social justice as a global society by providing comprehensive educational resources, engaging communities, and offering equitable education support. I talk with Julia and Kathy about their own experiences with their racial identities in and outside of the classroom, the recent wave of hate crimes against the Asian community amid the pandemic, current projects underway at IHI, and more.
