💪 . . . #Repost @aapiwomenlead with @get_repost ・・・ "Our Voices. Our Power." . We are complicated. We are forceful.. . Image description: White text over image of black journal and glass tea pot that reads"People see Asian women as demure or they see us as one thing. We are more complicated! My mother is a hustler. She wears the pants. Our communities are refugees and immigrants. Mainstream society sees us as helpful or quiet. But when we pushback or have ideas, they say, 'We didn’t realize you were so forceful.” - H. Pham" . #aapiwomenlead #metoo #intersectionalfeminism #complicatethenarrative #womenofcolor

🙏 . . . #Repost @chattingwithasians with @get_repost ・・・ Arrested 29 times. Many of those times were for civil disobedience (nonviolent protests, "loitering") and trumped-up charges like driving 30 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. At the time of his death, he had a 75% disapproval rating among the American public.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, a lot of people will be reposting famous quotes and portraits of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Instead, I wanted to share an unglamorous picture because this was the reality he faced every day in the name of the Civil Rights Movement. We owe a lot to this man.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I came across a 2013 piece by @npr talking about an article called "Three Things Asian Americans Owe to the Civil Rights Movement" by Scot Nakagawa. Of course, there are many things we owe to the movement but the three he listed were ending bans on interracial marriage, the Voting Rights Act, and the Immigration and Nationality Act. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's one thing that Asian Americans need to learn from the civil rights movement? "But we need to look broadly and try to figure out where the points of connection are between Asian-Americans and other groups of people who have been discriminated against by race, and figure out where those intersections exist and organize around them...If we all can get together and start to look at the project of winning racial equity as a project of building democracy, of addressing the contradiction between our racist past and our democratic ideals, then when we struggle to try to win greater equity what we're really doing is trying to strengthen democracy."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, we're taking a moment to honor this icon of social justice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PC: @wikicommons⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #mlk #civilrights #civilrightsmovement #civilrightsactivist #history #historic #historylovers #monday #mondaymotivation #mondaythoughts #motivation #love #lovetrumpshate #loveislove #activism #inspiration #socialjustice #gratitude #blackhistory #equality #peace #activist
