CAAL and LexSeeHer Announce Partnership

On International Women’s Day (March 8), the Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL) announced a partnership with Lex See Her to help expand inclusive educational programming related to the monument.

Melanie Lin, Co-President of CAAL, noted that “Asian women have made significant contributions in modern U.S. history. In this moment of surging anti-Asian hate that especially targets Asian women, what can we and should we do? We look forward to seeing this exciting monument in town, as teaching history is the best way to build better future.”
