Finding the Lost (and Forgotten) Midwestern Asian American History

Doesn’t Asian America only exist in California and the West Coast?  Many people (including Asian Americans) do not know that Asian America has a long history in the heartland (at least 155 years.) Dr. Victor Jew, a historian who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will share aspects of that history and show its deep connection to the histories of the Midwest and the United States as a whole.
