Where are you from?” is a familiar question to most Asian Americans. This seemingly innocuous question dangerously stereotypes Asian Americans as the perennial other - a stereotype that has been lethal to Asians all throughout history and fuels the rise of anti-Asian hate in recent years. To counter the harm, “In Our Own Words” elevates the lived experiences of the Harvard Asian diaspora through the power of narratives. Join us on Sunday, May 1^st at 12p ET at Lowell Lecture Hall to kick off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a compelling storytelling hour.

The ethnic communities “displayed” in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair introduced Americans to different cultures. But the exposition also promoted stereotypes. Now, 130 years later, Latinx teens in the Hear Me Out/Escúchame project will exhibit a collaboratively made piece of art inspired by the exhibition All the World Is Here to challenge stereotypes. Drop in to respond and create your own piece with simple art materials for “submission” to an imaginary 2023 World’s Fair. Take your place with us and share how you want to be represented.

In 2016, at the age of 89, former teacher and lifelong activist Opal Lee walked 1,400 miles from her home in Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., in an effort to get Juneteenth recognized as a national holiday. Two years later, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution recognizing the holiday, which originated in Galveston, Texas, and honors the June 19 anniversary of the announcement by Union Army general Gordon Granger proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas.
