Registration is free but required. \nScheduleThursday\, October 8\, 20206:30 p.m. CT Moderated Discussion7:10 p.m. CT Audience Q&A — Questions welcome via Vimeo \nThe Black Lives Matter movement that erupted following the death of George Floyd has forced our nation to confront systemic racial biases and to effect immediate change. People from all races\, religions\, and genders have been inspired to come together in solidarity and in support of Black lives. The U.S. also has a complicated history of anti-Asian discrimination which includes the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882\, the U.S.’s first federal law suspending immigration of an entire ethnic group\, and the Japanese Internment Act of 1942\, which led to the internment of thousands of Japanese residents and Japanese American citizens during World War II. \nThe dynamic of Asian and Black American communities in history is often overlooked. The Asian American movement and many of its grassroots organizations were inspired by the Black liberation movement. Often\, Asian American women were at the forefront of building coalitions for civil rights across racial lines. Prominent examples are Yuri Kochiyama\, who famously allied herself with the Civil Rights Movement and became a friend to Malcolm X\, and Ina Sugihara\, a civil rights organizer who became a founding member of the Congress of Racial Equity (CORE) and created multiracial coalitions through the Japanese American Citizens League. Sugihara emphasized the importance of multiracial alliances to fight discrimination\, and has been quoted as saying “The fate of each minority depends upon the extent of justice given all other groups.” \nDuring the current challenging times\, solidarity\, support\, and strength between all communities are imperative to move the nation forward in the right direction. Join Asia Society as inspirational women leaders explore the depth of Black and Asian American experiences in the country\, discuss how to overcome racial conflict and division between communities\, and share their hopes for cross-racial understanding and collaboration as we build a just and equitable future together. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERSRuth J. Simmons serves as President of Prairie View A&M University. She was President of Brown University from 2001-2012. Under her leadership\, Brown made significant strides in improving its standing as one of the world’s finest research universities. \nHelen Zia is an activist\, author\, and former journalist.

This month we will be hosting authors and scholars who have contributed to highlighting Latinx history\, identity\, culture\, and cross-cultural collaborations. \nDr. González will speak about her book Redeeming La Raza: Transborder Modernity\, Race\, Respectability\, and Rights. This book examines the gendered and class-conscious political activism of Mexican-origin people in Texas from 1900 to 1950. In particular\, it questions the intergenerational agency of Mexicans and Mexican Americans who subscribed to particular race\, ethnic\, class\, and gender ideologies as they encountered barriers and obstacles in a society that often treated Mexicans as a nonwhite minority. Middle-class transborder activists sought to redeem the Mexican masses from body politic exclusions in part by encouraging them to become identified with the nation-state. Redeeming la raza was as much about saving them from traditional modes of thought and practices that were perceived as hindrances to progress as it was about saving them from race and class-based forms of discrimination that were part and parcel of modernity. \nDr. Gabriela González is associate professor of history at the University of Texas at San Antonio where she teaches courses on the US-Mexico borderlands\, Latinx history\, women’s history and historical methods. She received her Ph.D. in U.S. history from Stanford University in 2005 and is a Ford Foundation Diversity Fellow. \nThis event is pre-recorded and will be followed by a LIVE Q&A with Dr. Gabriela González \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

Kendi DESCRIPTION:“Being an antiracist requires persistent self-awareness\, constant self-criticism\, and regular self-examination.” – Ibram X.

For more information\, please contact Rocio Rubio\, Corporate Relations Officer\, at rrubio@hmh.org. \nAbout How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. KendiAntiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and\, even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core\, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race\, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes\, gender identities\, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist\, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly\, understand their poisonous consequences\, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. \nKendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society. \nAbout NEXTGenNEXTGen is the Museum’s affinity group for young professionals ages 21-45 who share a common passion for the Museum and its mission.
