This timely, educational presentation about the history, present, and future outlook of Asian Americans in the United States is being brought to you by the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA).

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) aims to engage audiences in an ongoing and historical dialogue, in which people of all backgrounds are able to see American history through a critical perspective, to reflect on their own experiences, and to make meaningful connections between: the past and the present, the global and the local, themselves and others.
