UNDERSTANDING HISTORY: WHY WE ARE HERE
PART 3: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2022 | 7:00-8:30 PM PST | VIRTUAL ZOOM EVENT | FREE
The Wing Luke Museum continues an exploration of regional history and colonialism with personal stories from the early AANHPI communities – panelists who trace their ancestry back to the 1800s and throughout the 1900s – on the theme “why we are here.” Through these personal narratives, we can better understand both the contributions of AANHPI labor and intellect, as well as the roots of racism that still impact us today.
Panelists for Part 3:
Naomi Mulitauaopele Tagaleo’o, MBA, founded EDWPF, a nonprofit to help PI students navigate the American school system while maintaining their PI identity and cultural values. She is the youngest of 5 first generation siblings of Samoan descent, born in Seattle, WA and currently residing in Kent.
Sina Sam is a 1.5 generation Khmer American refugee and proud daughter of Cambodian Genocide survivors raised in the projects of Seattle, WA
Doan Diane Hoang Dy is a child of the Vietnamese diaspora born and raised in Seattle: navigating life, building community, and moving forward as a 2nd generation Vietnamese American mom.
Jeff Thungc is an Iu Mien and a first-generation American CIA Secret War political refugee to settle in Kent, WA in 1985.
The events will be moderated by the Wing Luke Museum Executive Director, Joël Barraquiel Tan.
