This collection of educational resources will help students make sense of anti-Asian racism today by connecting it with history. Americans of Asian descent have lived and contributed to the development of the United States. The first Asian American arrived in the United States in the 1500s - Filipinos who landed on the shores of Central California with a Spanish galleon.
