During this pandemic, Asian Americans have been experiencing increased racism and hate crimes. While these incidents of increased prejudice and violence occur today, they reflect a long history of how power, prejudice, and public health have intersected throughout American history.

This video features a conversation with Russell Jeung, professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University. Moderated by curator, Theo Gonzalves and student Lintaro Donovan.

This conversation is part of our Viral Histories series. Viral Histories features conversations with community leaders combating racism while serving on the front lines.
