Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community
Previously, we developed and implemented a discussion-based curriculum with Project: Vision to confront anti-Blackness within our community and to move participants, who were primarily Chinese-speaking parents, towards building solidarity with other communities of color. The proposed project is a continuation of this work and aims to provide young Chinese Americans in Chicago with a supportive space to -develop a common language to talk about racism, -unpack and heal from harms they have suffered because of racism, -better understand the role of racism and structural oppression in the our nation’s history, -and connect their experiences with racial-ethnic discrimination to that of other racial-ethnic groups, particularly Black Americans.
