What are exemplary and inclusive ways to present Asian American history in museums and at historic sites? How should projects connect historical institutions to communities, including political, labor, and organizational leaders?

Workshop participants will be invited to discuss their own projects and to collectively develop public history initiatives focused on topics in Asian American history and culture.
