This illustration of Yuri Kochiyama and Grace Lee Boggs links contemporary social justice struggles to the history of Asian American activism.
To understand contemporary Asian American activism, it is important to examine the history behind it. There exists a rich but often forgotten narrative of Asian American social justice efforts, documenting over 200 years of activism and resistance. The struggle for social justice is not limited to the collection of historical figures, organizations, and events that we present in this website; these are but a few examples of the activism persistent across Asian America. We encourage you to explore beyond these histories.
