At the age of 18, Gordon Tsai, Gowe, found out two life-changing pieces of his identity; he was adopted and ethnically Korean.

This is a conversation you will not want to miss! We discuss Gordon’s life as an adoptee, the impact of discovering the truth of his story at an older age, the meaning behind his music, and seeking God throughout it all.

Rohwer Relocation Center Memorial Cemetery in Desha County, Arkansas, is one of only three extant Japanese American confinement site cemeteries in the US? In 1992, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
Executive Order 9066 signed by President Roosevelt in 1942 authorized the US Military to forcibly remove Japanese Americans and those of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast.
Rohwer was one of only two confinement sites located in the eastern half of the US. Over two thirds of its 10,000 incarcerees were American citizens. From this group, volunteers enlisted in the US Army and fought with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, one of the most highly decorated and respected military units.
Japanese Americans incarcerated at Rohwer from 1942 to 1945 designed and built the cemetery which sat on 500 acres of farmland.
In a 1982 dedication, a granite monument was erected to commemorate both the incarcerees who died at Rohwer and those who died while serving in World War 2.

Scout Bassett is an elite sprinter, triathlete, Paralympian and UCLA graduate?
Who is she? Scout became the fastest American of her classification ever to run the 100-meter dash for the US. (1) And, she teamed with American Girl to have a doll created after her. (2)
Scout lost her leg in a chemical fire as a baby in China. As a seven-year old, she was adopted from a Chinese orphanage by an American family. (3) She grew up in a predominantly white town in Michigan and had no friends or role models who looked like her or had a disability like hers. (4)
However, her most painful life experience occurred during the pandemic when Scout faced overt racism at a local grocery store. (5) She used that event to not only fuel her athletic goals but also to become a voice and role model for other Asian Americans.
In her words, “Representation really does matter,… (w)e cannot aspire to the things that we want to be or that we don’t even know we might want to until we see someone else doing it.” (6)

That the First woman of color to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives was Patsy Takemoto Mink? She was also the first Japanese American woman to practice law in her home State of Hawaii.
In 1965, Patsy made history and started her long career in politics. Her lifelong experience with racism and gender bias drove her to create legislation that addressed unfairness and inequities.
She, along with Rep. Edith Green, spearheaded the passage of the Title IX Education Amendment of 1972. This landmark piece of legislation transformed women’s opportunities in higher education and sports. In 2002, this act was renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.
In Patsy’s words, “What you endure is who you are. And if you just accept and do nothing, then life goes on. But if you see it as a way for change, life doesn’t have to be this unfair; it can be better. Maybe not for me, I can’t change the past. But I can certainly help somebody else in the future so they don’t have to go through what I did.”

The First Asian American ATHLETE to win an Olympic Gold Medal was a Filipina American woman? Her name is Vicki Manalo Draves. In fact, Vicki won 2 gold medals in the 1948 London Olympics. She won her first gold medal in springboard diving two days before her teammate, Sammy Lee, won his medal in platform diving. Sammy is the first Asian American “man” to win an Olympic gold medal for the US.
To his credit, Sammy, who is often mentioned by the media as the first Asian American Olympic gold medalist, introduced Vicki to her diving coach and future husband, Lyle Draves. Sammy served as best man at Vicki and Lyle’s wedding.
Vicki grew up in San Francisco. Her father was Filipino and her mother was English. Sammy grew up in Los Angeles, the son of Korean immigrants.
Both Vicki and Sammy had groundbreaking performances in individual competition, but what’s overlooked is their relationship as good friends and teammates against a backdrop of discrimination and bias.

DYK: AAPI Heritage Month is celebrated each year in the month of May because it commemorates 2 specific significant events in American history which happened in May.
First, on May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the US. Second, on May 10, 1869, the transcontinental railroad was completed through the labor and sacrifice of nearly 20,000 Chinese laborers.
The idea of honoring Asian Americans was first introduced to Congress in the late 1970’s by Jeanie Jew, whose great-grandfather was a rail laborer. Jeanie served as a Congressional staffer.
Because of Jeanie, the support she received, and the efforts of many others, every year there is an entire month devoted to AAPI heritage to educate, celebrate, and recognize the inheritance of who we are to our community and to the world.

A WELCOMING AND A BOWL OF PHO
The first wave of Vietnamese refugees into Washington state brought thousands of people who were temporarily sheltered at a military base in California?
As the US was pulling out of the Vietnam War, an exodus of refugees followed. In 1975, they were invited by then Governor Dan Evans after the California governor at the time, Jerry Brown, made a public statement that the refugees were not welcomed in California.
As Washington state was figuring out its resettlement program, the refugees began to slowly rebuild their lives. Through their resilience, many started restaurants.
The oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Washington state is Pho Bac. It opened in 1982 initially as a sandwich shop, but when Pho was added to the menu, it took off. Pho rice noodle soup consists of a broth made with beef or chicken bones, pieces of meats, various spices in combination with toppings and sauces. Today, Pho Bac is still owned and operated by the same family and sells 700 bowls of pho every day!

The first Asian American on US Currency is actress Anna May Wong?
Born in Los Angeles in 1905, Anna May’s birth name was Wong Liu Tsong. She is considered the first Chinese American Hollywood movie star, as well as the first Chinese American actress to gain international recognition. (1)
Anna May’s career spanned 40 years in silent films, sound film, television, stage, and radio. (2) She appeared in more than 60 movies throughout her career. (3) She paved the road for Asian American actors, by fighting through institutional racism in Hollywood.
One of the most devastating moments in her career was being denied the lead role of a Chinese farmer’s wife in MGM’s, “The Good Earth”, a 1937 film adaptation of Pearl Buck’s novel. (4)
The studio cast a White actress to play O-lan and offered Anna May the role of a villain, which she refused. (5) Major studios often resorted to Yellowface; the practice of casting white actors as Asians.
Despite limited lead roles, stereotypical casting and vast pay inequities, Anna May Wong left a legacy for others; now, decades later, her work is being recognized and she is celebrated by having her image & name placed on an American quarter .

Such a powerful, moving, and informative conversation about transracial adoption this week with the amazing @sandhyaoaks. November is #nationaladoptionmonth. So often the story of adoption is told from the viewpoint of the adoptive parents. Sandhya, a South Asian adoptee, covers so many important topics about growing up as the only person of color in her community and the journey of discovery from self-contempt to establishing a healthy identity formation in the midst of complexity. We talk about hurtful words and phrases asked of adoptees and helpful tips and resources for transracial adoptees.
