Race 2000 forum to examine Asian American experience

"The Asian American Experience," the next in the Race 2000 forum series, will be held Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7pm in Rm 10-250.

The discussion among students, faculty and staff will be augmented by film excerpts, a theatrical reading of laws discriminating against Asians and Asian Americans, and a substantial question-and-answer period. The evening will be moderated by Emma Teng, instructor in foreign languages and literatures.

The program was created through collaboration among the South Asian American Students, Sangam (the Indian Students Association), the Asian Pacific American Caucus, and the lecture subcommittee of the Committee on Campus Race Relations.
