We are so proud that a student found the story of Fred Korematsu’s fight to be recognized as a loyal American. Korematsu’s courage inspires all of us and reminds Asian Americans that our seemingly inalienable rights as Americans can never be taken for granted. Californian Korematsu refused orders to leave his home to join a Japanese Internment Camp during World War II. When he refused, he was arrested, convicted and sent to a far away Internment Camp. In 1944, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that the denial of civil liberties based on race and national origin was legal. When revisited by SCOTUS in 1983, the conviction itself was overturned but SCOTUS refused to state that discrimination based on race and national origin was no longer legal. Recently in 2018, SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts disavowed that particular decision while simultaneously upholding executive authority for the so called “Muslim ban.” reminding us that while the targeted groups might change, the otherization of non-White folks still continues to this day. As stated by our young activist: “…, we should not bow down …. but challenge .. and fight back.

In 1976, Dr. Samuel C.C. Ting became a Nobel laureate recipient for his contributions to discovering a whole new type of particle (J-particle) in physics that he shared with Dr. Burton Richter. Don’t ask us what that means, but the students who spotlighted Dr. Ting certainly have a better understanding! Did you know he delivered his Nobel prize in Mandarin? What an excellent way to highlight the diversity that is the promise of the US. His contributions are celebrated as the accomplishments of scientists from the US. And our students celebrate Samuel Ting as an American role model who they can aspire to be.

This week we celebrate its sole creator: Stan Sakai!http://caal-ma.org/proud-to-be-american…/stan-sakai/An 11-year-old Lexington student told us this was the first comic book he has ever read and inspired him to create comics. The student told us that Stan Sakai created Usagi Yojimbo in 1984 based on the life of Miyamoto Musashi in the form of a rabbit. And his award-winning comic books are enjoyed around the world and help to promote Japanese culture.

Among many childhood dreams, few are as grand as becoming an astronaut. Kalpana Chawla had a love of flying from an early age and channeled her passion into studying aeronautical engineering and became the first woman of Indian descent to fly into space. Being the first to pave a path is easier said than done. For her work opening these doors, a series of satellites, a dorm and engineering building at her alma mater, and a Northrup Grumman spacecraft delivering cargo to the space station are all named after her. Today, her legacy stands as a beacon for many young aspiring people; whether it is in space science or other big dreams. Her life story reminds us not to be afraid of dreaming big. It is exciting to be witness to the small moments when a young person spotlights someone they admire and someone they aspire to be someday.
