In May, the Asia Society created this video that showcases Asian Americans personal stories for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2007.
History Of the Asia Society
Asia Society was founded in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller 3rd. Initially established to promote greater knowledge of Asia in the U.S., the Society today is a global institution—with offices throughout the U.S. and Asia—that fulfills its educational mandate through a wide range of cross-disciplinary programming. As economies and cultures have become more interconnected, the Society's programs have expanded to address Asian American issues, the effects of globalization, and pressing concerns in Asia including human rights, the status of women, and environmental and global health issues such as HIV/AIDS.
NOTE: Using this video as a model, the IE Video Blogging crew will be conducting interviews during the week of August 27th. If you are interested in sharing your personal story, please let us know.
