RISING VOICES FEAST OF RESISTANCE
May 19th, ACA Community Center, Time TBD
This potluck-style gathering will feature storytelling and a journey through Asian American history via the ingredients and dishes of our ancestors. Join us as we honor their legacies by remembering their struggles and triumphs as they built lives and communities in America and learn about their contributions to our nation.
