The Wing Luke Museum continues an exploration of regional history and colonialism with personal stories from the early AANH/PI communities – panelists who trace their ancestry back to the 1800s and early 1900s – on the theme “why we are here.”
Through these personal narratives, we can better understand both the contributions of AANH/PI labor and intellect, as well as the roots of racism that still impact us today.
Presenters will be:
- Lilly Kodama (Japanese ancestry, whose family came here in the early 1900s)
- Pio DeCano, II (Filipino ancestry, whose parents were pioneers/activists in the Pacific Northwest)
- Viren Kamdar (South Asian ancestry, whose uncle came to this area in the 1940s)
Note: For an overview framework presentation, please see Understanding History: In the Shadows of Colonialism, by Tracy Lai, tenured historian at Seattle Central College on the Seattle Channel https://www.seattlechannel.org/videos?videoid=x122139
