History

Asian American media platform @Joysauce is usually focused on celebrating joy in the AANHPI community. "But how do we do that when things seem so bleak?" wrote editor Samantha Pak in her introduction to our Good Life newsletter last week. Here's the collection of stories she curated, which center on stories of activism — think Wong Kim Ark, the man who is responsible for the birth of birthright citizenship in the U.S., Hawai’i’s Queen Liliʻuokalani, and the immigrant women of the Jung Sai factory strike. "From organizing and creating new laws, to breaking down barriers and using art to spread awareness, these AANHPIs are reminding us to not lose hope, and to keep fighting the good fight," Pak concludes. Here's the @Flipboard@flipboard.social Storyboard she created.
