"Education should be used as a tool for liberation"
Description
MK draws on the metaphor of root systems and waterways to highlight the healing bonds between community members amidst the toxic effects of racism. She shares her perspective on Ethnic Studies organizing and how she has incorporated lessons from mothering and movements across the country into the local fight for Ethnic Studies in our schools.
We want our school systems to be places of joy that inspire imagination, cultivate curiosity, and ensure that all children can learn and grow. Asian Minnesotans have lived in and contributed to the state for generations, yet Asian Americans are often excluded in the curriculum across all subjects. The Coalition of Asian American Leaders is a proud member of the Ethnic Studies Coalition. To learn more and get involved, visit www.ourschoolsmn.com.
