On June 17, the Queens College Library partnered with the Queens Public Library to host a Queens Memory COVID-19 Project event, “Model Minority vs. COVID-19: Education Through Crisis, for Asians In America<\/strong>.”<\/a> This virtual roundtable was moderated by incoming Queens College president Frank Wu, author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White<\/em>, and co-sponsored by the Asian\/American Center at Queens College, and the Asian American\/Asian Research Institute – CUNY. Panelists included Professor Joyce Moy, Executive Director of the Asian American and Asian Research Institute; Dr. Madhulika Khandelwal, Director of Asian\/American Center; Dr. Vivian Louie, Director of the Asian American Studies Program and Center at Hunter College; and Dr. John Chin, Professor of Urban Policy and Planning and Director of the Graduate Urban Planning Program at Hunter College. Panelists had a fruitful discussion of the “model minority” myth, the current higher educational experience for Asians in America, racism during the pandemic, and how Asians in America can provide ally-ship and solidarity to other groups experiencing racial oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event can now be viewed on the Queens Memory streaming platform: click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Compiled by Antony Wong, Program Coordinator, Asian American\/Asian Research Institute (AAARI) City University of New York (This is not intended to be an exhaustive list)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resources for Asian Americans Against Anti-Black Racism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations with Statements Regarding George Floyd\/Black Lives Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nResource: Asian American Community Collaboration, Support and Advocacy on BLM and Killing of George Floyd<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
