Introducing our new book initiative!

March 2021 Newsletter View this email in your browser Happy Women's History Month!  Attributed with many “firsts”, Susan Ahn Cuddy (1915-2015) was a trailblazer and pioneering Korean American. It is astounding that she accomplished so much almost a century ago. As the eldest daughter of Korean independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang Ho, Susan grew up surrounded by people who willingly made sacrifices to help build a better future.  As the first Asian American woman to serve in the US Navy, she would go on to reach the rank of Lieutenant. She was also the first Korean American to serve in US Naval Intelligence. Click below to read more about her on our Instagram post!

Each month, we will spotlight a book to learn more about the richness of Black history and how Black Civil Rights Activists have shaped Asian American history as we know it today. For our inaugural spotlight, we turned to Minor Feelings, a poetic articulation of the Asian American experience by Cathy Park Hong. Before we seek to, as Hong put it, “free ourselves of our conditional existence”, we must first know our own history and our experiences.
