In recognition of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and as part of the ongoing Awareness Month Film project, IDE(A)2 and the Hilda C. Landers Library, Archives & Media Center are pleased to present the acclaimed PBS series Asian Americans as the May film offering.

Asian Americans is a five-episode (one-hour each) film series that chronicles the contributions and challenges of Asian Americans, the fastest-growing ethnic group in America. Personal histories and new academic research will cast a fresh lens on U.S. history and the role Asian Americans have played in it.

We invite the entire community to join us for the virtual screening of episode five, Breaking Through, on Thursday, May 20, at 5:00 p.m.  The screening will be followed by an interactive group discussion facilitated by Professor Charles Musgrove.  This event is free and open to the entire campus community as well as the public.
