Yellow: Asian Americans and the Changing Face of Our Nation
Frank Wu, October 21, 2008
4:30pm - Giant Eagle Auditorium, BHA51
Frank H. Wu will offer a provocative new paradigm for race relations that includes Asian immigrants and Asian Americans. He discusses how we can achieve our ideals as our nation undergoes a profound demographic transformation that will make all of us minorities. Using anecdotes, history, and social science, he will challenge the audience to think about issues of diversity in a different manner that reaches out not only to whites and blacks but everyone who belongs to our nation.
