Come join GAPIMNY to unwind with old and new friends. Then we’ll head to Union Square for the annual Asian Heritage Festival. Visit a mélange of diverse booths celebrating our heritage, and give GAPIMNY’s booth cheer after brunch. To make the brunch more fun, we will also try to have a themed discussion. The tentative topic is “what is the craziest thing that GAPIMNY can do at the pride parade this year?”

The History of Racism in the U.S.: an Asian American Perspective
Don Kao, one of the founders of GAPIMNY, will take us through the 180 year history of racism against Asians in the U.S. in this mind opening workshop.

In addition, we will explore a multiracial history time line to draw together the interconnections of Native American, African American, Latina/o, Asian/Pacific Islander and Women’s herstories/histories.
