These photos upend the idea of Asians as the “model minority” in the U.S.

Resistance to Anti-Asian Violence is synonymous with the history of Asians in the U.S. and predates many of the photos from this exhibit at the Los Angeles Chinese America Museum from 2017 but it is important to recognize this history during all periods of our presences in this country and this exhibit and the curators did a great job of putting together images to tell the story of the Asian American peoples’ movement from the 70’s and 80’s.
