Chinatown Rising

"Asian American history isn't something we learn about, ever. I feel like just watching this for the past hour and a half, I've learned more about Asian American history than I have the past 15 years I've been in school." -Mary, Student, Florida State University #chinatownrising

What can YOU do to change your community? As Asian Pacific Heritage Month comes to a close we challenge you to find your voice & continue the fight for diversity, equality, and representation. #apahm #chinatownrising #useyourvoice #advocateforchange

What started out as a school project has become a vital film that allows us to see and recognize ourselves as a community with a voice. Thank you, Harry Chuck for capturing our strength and inspiring us all to raise our voices for what we believe. #apahm #chinatownrising

Emil De Guzman was president of the I-Hotel Tenants Association & key activist during the 8-year struggle to prevent the eviction of the International Hotel. He also led the rebuilding of the new I-Hotel in 2005. Thank you for your leadership, Emil! #apahm #chinatownrising

Linda Wang was the co-founder of the Chinatown Coalition for Better Housing, fighting for better housing conditions, resources, and availability. The group's landmark case won the approval of the Mei Lun Yuen Housing Project. #apahm #asianamericanhistory #chinatownrising

The Immigration Act of 1965 opened the flood gates to an influx of immigrants that poured into SF Chinatown. A housing, education, and employment crisis ensued and a revolution was born. #apahm #chinatownrising #asianamericanhistory
