In this class, students will learn about the story of Vincent Chin, often overlooked but profoundly significant in American history. We'll discuss what happened to Vincent and why his story holds such importance. Vincent Chin's experience highlights the challenges faced by Asian Americans and other people of color in the United States. Despite the injustice he faced, Vincent's story serves as an important reminder of the impact of racism and discrimination. By understanding his story, we can gain valuable insights into broader issues of systemic discrimination and work towards preventing similar injustices in the future. Furthermore, we'll explore how Vincent Chin's case galvanized the Asian American community into action. We'll discuss the grassroots movements and activism that emerged in response, as Asian Americans rallied together to demand justice and equality. Vincent Chin's story was a catalyst for the Asian American movement, sparking a wave of advocacy and awareness-raising efforts. Just as we study the experiences of other minority groups in America, it's crucial to understand Vincent Chin's story to fully comprehend our nation's history and strive towards a more inclusive future. Join us as we examine Vincent Chin's narrative and its significance, alongside the inspiring activism that emerged within the Asian American community. It's crucial to understand that Asian Americans haven't remained silent or passive, despite societal perceptions suggesting otherwise. Instead, they've actively risen above adversity and taken a courageous stand. It is important to know that I am very honest in my classes. I don't sugarcoat history but I truthfully tell it in an age-appropriate manner. I like my classes to be interactive, so there will be many opportunities to participate in class discussions. Each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Participation is encouraged but not required. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, it is important to give each student the opportunity to speak and ask questions. If you have request for a specific day/time, please let me know.

I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned.

I have a background in studies based on the history of people of color including Asian Americans.
