When I started this daily #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thread a few years ago, I wanted to highlight people who had left a stitch or 2 in the fabric of American society, regardless of how or where. I hope that people can find value & inspiration in them like I have.
Today for #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, who doesn& #39;t enjoy watching Conan O& #39;Brien getting his ass kicked? Especially when it& #39;s by renaissance man Steven Ho @steviehaute: actor, director, stuntman, interior designer, & martial artist? https://vimeo.com/17770588 ">https://vimeo.com/17770588&...
A culinary star today for my #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thread. @ManeetChauhan was born in Punjab, but has been cooking in the US for 20 years. When she opened the Indian-Latino fusion restaurant At Vermilion in NYC, I remember that the thali sampler was to die for. https://www.maneetchauhan.com/ ">https://www.maneetchauhan.com/">...
2 of 3: In 1894 the Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, ruled that Wong was indeed an American citizen under the jus soli concept of common law & the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. 122 years later, a presidential candidate floated the notion that this ruling was invalid.
3 of 3: Millions of Asian Americans, myself included, are citizens who owe our status to this case, among others. We also owe a debt to one brave cook from California who fought for his rights, no matter how long it ultimately took. #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649">https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremeco...
1 of 2: Another author for the #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thread, because I& #39;ve always loved reading & hope my kids inherit that love. 20-odd years ago, someone loaned me a copy of "Cebu" written by Peter Bacho, & to say I was enthralled would be an understatement. https://www.amazon.com/Cebu-Peter-Bacho/dp/0295971320">https://www.amazon.com/Cebu-Pete...
2 of 2: Cebu was one of the first novels to cover an Asian American experience, as opposed to an Asian POV, specifically protagonist Ben not feeling fully at home either in the Philippines or the US. Cebu won the American Book Award in 1992. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/peter-bacho/cebu/">https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-revi...
Today for the #AAPIHM https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thread, if you watched any movie or tv show in the last 50 years, you& #39;ve probably seen James Hong, one of the most prolific actors ever. His arguably most important job was founding East West Players, a theatre for & by AAPI in 1965. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/02/entertainment/james-hong-actor-movie-credits-trnd/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/0...
