Welcome to Episode 41 of the Asian American History 101 podcast! With August 3rd and 5th approaching, it marks forty-two years since the incident in Seadrift, Texas and nine years since the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin. So we take time to remember the victims of both events. With anti-Asian violence on the rise in the last year and half, it’s important to remember that there have been shocking instances of this throughout the United States’ history… from our beginning to more recent times. We also take time to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander victories in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Interested in learning more? Check out the Seadrift documentary by Tim Tsai, the Sikh Coalition, Harpreet Singh Saini’s Speech, and information on Margaret Mac Neil and the One Child Policy.
