Asian American Histories of Resistance Timeline

This timeline of Asian American Histories of Resistance was created for AACRE’s 2024 Walking Stories exhibit and spans from 1873 to present day.

From Walking Stories: “Scholar Helen Zia talks about moments that are MIH or “Missing in History.” Here we present moments of our Asian American story that are MIH.”

Explore the significant events and milestones that have shaped Asian American communities, showcasing the resilience and collective power of Asian Americans throughout history and our ongoing struggle for social justice and liberation.

The Asian American Histories of Resistance Timeline is an ongoing collaborative project by community leaders, activists, organizers, historians, academics, artists, and other dedicated contributors.
