The @uscensusbureau misclassification of Hmong Americans as 'East Asian' is a serious error. #HmongVoicesCount and will not be erased. ✍️ Share this petition widely: https://t.co/0G8UEc3okt @SEARAC

Today, on the 35th anniversary of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, my office formally apologized for its past role in the deprivation of Japanese Americans’ civil liberties during WWII.

The suffering caused by these actions is incalculable and the moral injustice is undeniable.

“They’re still very traumatized. Time helps to heal and it’s kind of fading away, but when they talk about it, it’s still like it was yesterday." Six months after the Monterey Park shooting, survivors have returned to dancing and pushed for gun control. https://t.co/mjIo1EITzr

Rhode Island State Archives:

A catalog book shows the once vibrant Chinatown in Providence, Rhode Island in 1913. However, the local Chinese community has been gone for decades.

(Little extra: The archivist Ken who helps me today adopted his daughter from Hunan, China in 2007!)

"The rise of Asiatown is a rather Houston story, one of cheap real estate, immigrant hustle, and communities mixing."

There are Asian Americans in Houston; we are in Texas, we are in places all over the country. Doing work about these communities is already *inherently* representative because they exist and are valid.
