Chinese-Americans Fear for Their Safety
The New York Times reports on attacks on Chinese-Americans and other Asian-Americans during the corona virus crisis. “As the coronavirus upends American life, Chinese-Americans face a double threat. Not only are they grappling like everyone else with how to avoid the virus itself, they are also contending with growing racism in the form of verbal and physical attacks. Other Asian-Americans — with families from Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar and other places — are facing threats, too, lumped together with Chinese-Americans by a bigotry that does not know the difference.” To read the article, click here.

“Selma Online”: Free Online Teaching Resource
As the opening line of the website says: “Selma Online is more than a history lesson. It’s a call to action to learn about democracy, civil rights, and the need to safeguard voting equality … in every generation.” Created by Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance program and Left Field Labs, the lessons incorporate archival footage and clips from the Ava Duvernay-helmed film, Selma, and connect how the events leading up to the 1965 march impacted modern voting rights. In total, there are nine “chapters” to the project, including an introduction and conclusion. A teacher’s guide can be downloaded from the site. To access the website, click here.
