HISTORY OF AND ISSUES SURROUNDING THE ASIAN DIASPORA
​IN THE UNITED STATES

FACING HISTORY AND OURSELVES

Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students 
to stand up to bigotry and hate.
Classroom Resources on AAPI History and Contemporary Life
​For many educators who are eager to begin exploring AAPI history and contemporary experiences with students, it can be challenging to know where to start. We invite educators to use the following curricular resources and professional development offerings to begin a journey of reflection, dialogue, and learning in the classroom.
​Complicating "Asian Americans"
​Conversations often fail to address the complicated nature of “Asian Americans” as a concept, how it emerged, and what the “American” part of the phrase may obscure. In this term, we find traces of deep, and often hidden, colonial violence as well as the coordinated resistance, ingenuity, and hope of AAPI people themselves. Read more to broaden your understanding of and ability to teach about AAPI and API histories and contemporary life.
​Stream the Asian Americans PBS Video Series
​Asian Americans is a five-hour film series produced by PBS delves into the history and impact of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
Facing Today: A Collection of Facing History Asian American Pacific Islander Resources​
​Facing History's collection of Asian American Pacific Islander scholarship for both self-learning and use in the classroom
