MOCA PRESENTS – Special Community Screening: The Race Epidemic
May 4, 2024, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
In partnership with the Asian Pacific American Leadership Foundation, the Museum of Chinese in America cordially invites you to a special AANHPI Heritage Month screening of the award-winning documentary, The Race Epidemic. This PBS-distributed film explores racism, xenophobia, hate, and violence that marginalized groups have faced throughout the history of America.
Join us for this one-hour screening, which addresses historic AANHPI discrimination in our society and how AANHPI voices have been historically challenged and silenced. The post-screening panel discussion will be moderated by Wayne Ho, President/CEO of the Chinese American Planning Council.
