This is an unedited recording of a Zoom session from my Asian American Activism: Putting Theory into Practice (Pt. 1) course that was held synchronously in the Summer of 2025. In this session, I lecture on the Introduction of my co-edited, "Contemporary Asian American Activism," book. If you're interested in diving deeper into this material, you can sign-up for the self-paced version of this course here.
The introduction examines the following topics:

- the significance of cross-racial (or interracial) solidarity from its beginnings;
- the impact of the Vietnam War...and more.
