The Wing Luke Museum continues an exploration of regional history and colonialism with personal stories from the early AANHPI communities – panelists who trace their ancestry back to the 1800s and early 1900s – on the theme “why we are here.” Through these personal narratives, we can better understand both the contributions of AANHPI labor and intellect, as well as the roots of racism that still impact us
today.
Panelists:
Lilly Kodama (Japanese ancestry, whose family came here in the early 1900s)
Pio DeCano, II (Filipino ancestry, whose parents were pioneers/activists in the Pacific Northwest)
Viren Kamdar (South Asian ancestry, whose uncle came to this area in the 1940s)
