The AAPI Mobile History Museum was unveiled on May 4, 2024.
The mobile museum trailer features historical pictures of twelve Asian American activists. They are Mabel Ping Hua Lee, Bhagat Singh Thind, Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, Phillip Vera Cruz, Ibrahim Chowdry, Dith Pran, Fred Korematsu, Seilchi Higashide, Larry Itliong, Wong Kim Ark, and Patsy Mink. This art installation features the portraits of twelve activists who represent some of the diversity of Asian Americans who have brought political and social change in the US history.
Studying history opens up our minds, helps develop critical thinking skills, and pushes us to have deeper self-reflections of who we are. Starting September 2023, the new school year, every public elementary and secondary school is required to teach one unit of AAPI history. Cultural Society is standing ready to help supplement this teaching with our mobile museum with activities and animated curations.
Looking for volunteers
We are also looking for volunteers to serve with our curator on the mobile museum. Are you passionate about opening young people’s minds? Do you have experience in teaching? Do you like to inspire curiosity in children? If you answer “yes” to any of the questions above, you need to contact us. Don’t bury your passion; get in touch with it. Use your talent in our cause to develop young people’s minds, and equip them with the critical thinking skills to be leaders of our future.
