Join WTTW for a FIRSTHAND: Segregation virtual screening and conversation as we mark Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This event will explore the unique ways in which Chicago’s Asian communities have carved out spaces of safety and resistance in the face of discrimination, through the expertise and lived experiences of our engaging panelists. Watch highlights from the documentary series and join in the Q&A.

FIRSTHAND Executive Producer Dan Protess will moderate a live conversation with Lisa Yun Lee, Executive Director of the National Public Housing Museum; Chris Javier, Leader of the Chinese Christian Union Church; Ann Kalayil, Founder and Board Chair of the South Asian American Policy and Research Institute; and Seong Cho, Organizing Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
