Description
In this interactive session, we invite you to consider how one person or a small group can start a momentum of social change. Within this conversation, we’ll discuss past and present examples of this topic, including change agents who are the “names behind the names”— individuals whose courageous acts advanced and supported the well-known actions of people such as Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. We will also look at the effect the current pandemic has had on perceptions and experiences of Asian Americans and how we can contribute to a more inclusive society.
