CELEBRATING THE 40TH THROUGH FASHION

Last Thursday was one of the most inspiring and empowering days I've had in a while and it's an experience I know I could remember 40 years from now. Just like the film we watched in class about the strike, the same intensity and unity was given off from our group from beginning to end. Our freeze frame from the past really helped to capture a moment in SFState history, which felt like we jumped into a time warp into the 60's. This assignment didn't feel like an obligated midterm where we were worrying about recieving a good grade. This midterm helped us to celebrate the reason why we joined this class, to experience CULTURE. Without the fight of students, teachers, staff, and people in the community, we wouldn't have opportunities like ETHNIC STUDIES CLASSES, PACE, LFS, BSU, LA RAZA, PCN, ECT. I definitely had a positive response from people passing by, a lot of people were curious about what we were gathered about and took the flyers I gave them. I ran out of flyers maybe after 5 mins or less and the demorgraphic of people taking them were of all ethnicities including Asians. Also, our 5-10 minute presentations helped to educate everyone not only about the struggle, but demonstrated that Asian Americans can fight off the common stereotypes of being weak, meek, and submissive. We too have a voice and have something to say. "The students united, can never be defeated!"
