Rally To Demand AAPI History Education
Join Rev. Jesse Jackson in NYC August 5, 2022 for this rally to demand AAPI History Education. At this time, there is no AAPI history included in public education. It is necessary and important to include it all in. AAPI history is American history.
Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Korean American Civic Empowerment (KACE), and Korean American Sanctuary Churches Network (KASCN) invite you to join us for an important event where we will build a coalition between the Asian American communities and Black communities, and rally together to demand the New York State AAPI History Education Bills.

My book Invisible gives a history of racism and hate against AAPI community and how we need to move towards a Theology of Visibility to achieve a peaceable kin-dom on earth.
Hope you will get a chance to read both Invisible and Keeping Hope Alive.
