Time/Date: Apr 13, 2021 08:30 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Click here to register.

The rise in anti-Asian hate and violence is horrific and unacceptable. Each day another incident devastates America. President Biden issued a presidential memorandum in January condemning racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against the 23 million Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the United States. But the community needs action. United in the same spirit and mission, leaders from ADL, Committee of 100, NAACP, and the U.S. Senate will share concerns, experiences and how to move forward - education, re-generation, legislation. How can we come together to create real change?

Moderator: Juju Chang, Co-Anchor, ABC News Nightline

Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and National Director, ADL

Ambassador Gary Locke, Chairman-Elect, Committee of 100

Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP

The Honorable Alex Padilla, United States Senator, California

3. Community Webinar: "From Foundations to Frontiers"

The presentation is a landmark study of the enduring contributions of Chinese Americans to American society from the 1800s to today.

Time/Date: Apr 15, 2021 08:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpf-qupj4iE9dYZZr5YsNZN9gqkDaS1WvA

Presented by Committee of 100 Virtual Talk with University of Virginia College & Graduate School of Arts & Sciences East Asia in celebration of the Asian Heritage Month

The evidence-driven study details the contribution across the following seven industries: Arts & Culture, Civil Rights, Public Service and Politics, Business Leadership & Entrepreneurship, Infrastructure, Military & National Security, Public Health, and Science & Technology.

This virtual presentation will provoke curiosity and offer a new perspective on Chinese American contributions, while identifying, quantifying and showcasing the contributions of the Chinese American community through data and storytelling.

The event will be a 30-minute presentation followed by a facilitated discussion.

4. 2021"亲情中华~为你讲故事“ 网上夏令营开始招生!  Virtual China Camp

2021年 “亲情中华~为你讲故事” 网上夏令营 – 全美中文学校协会开始招生啦！

今年夏令营与去年相同，仍以微信群组班、沟通和听故事活动方式进行。从3月30日开始，至7月底结束，每月1期，共举办5期，每期15天。

与去年不同的是：

1）今年总营期减少（去年共8期），一些承办单位也相应减少了办营次数和每期参营人数。

2）除第一期全国统一开营外，其余四期均由各省级、市地级侨联自主决定开营日期。这些变化给学生报名和我们组班造成一定困惑，但也有一定灵活性，即我们可以根据报名人数和学生参营意愿在开营日期方面有一定主动权。

3）根据去年办营经验，今年协会将对营员收取每期$20报名费，全部用于班主任们辛苦工作的补偿。全美中文学校协会一向秉承义务、免费或最低收费为会员学校及社区服务，相信大家对此报名费的用途可以理解。

夏令营报名须知和每期报名截止日期详见《2021夏令营报名通知》

个人报名请用此表：

学校报名请填写附件《2021网上夏令营营员信息汇总表》，并尽快联系协会学生服务部江江理事：jiangj56@gmail.com, 或电315-263-6506。

去年网上夏令营出乎意料的非常受欢迎，参营学生和家长热情高涨，不少学生每期都报了名。请校长们、老师们把信息传送给家长和学生。更鼓励各校组班参加！

谢谢。江江    全美中文学校协会学生服务部

布雷特·道格拉斯: 我的妻子张纯如, 记忆与写作之痛

Image
我的妻子张纯如：记忆与写作之痛 文 / 布雷特·道格拉斯 来源《南京大屠杀》 1988 年 10 月，我第一次见到我的妻子张纯如，那时她是一个美丽可人、才华横溢的女孩，浑身充满朝气。如果当时有人告诉我，她将来会写出一部被翻译成 15 种语言的畅销书，我丝毫不会感到惊讶。但我万万没想到的是，在她去世 7 年后的今天，我竟然在为她的著作《南京大屠杀》写一篇尾声。我曾经以为，以纯如在 30 岁时表现出来的活力、激情和干劲，她即使到了 80 岁甚至 90 岁，也能写出伟大的作品。 虽然在遇到对方之前，我们都没有太多的约会经历，但相识不久我们就发现我们是完美的一对。我们幸运地在一起度过了 16 年的幸福时光。在我写作这篇尾声之前，有两本关于纯如生平的书已经出版：保拉•卡门 (Paula Kamen) 的《发现张纯如》 (Finding Iris Chang) ，以及纯如母亲张盈盈的《张纯如：无法忘却历史的女子》 (The Woman Who Could Not Forget) 。这两本书写得都很好，我建议想进一步了解纯如的人不妨一读。纯如的离世太过突然，加之她是一个不事张扬的人，因而她生活的许多方面和她的死因都被蒙上了一层神秘色彩。感谢基本书局 (Basic Books) 给我这个填补空白的机会，澄清纯如生命中的诸多谜团，从而让她的精神和作品永留于世。 　　 张盈盈的《张纯如：无法忘却历史的女子》一书详细描述了纯如一生的点点滴滴，我无意对此做进一步的补充完善。相反，我将集中介绍几个我认为促进纯如成功的关键因素。纯如的父母都曾在哈佛大学获得博士学位并以科学研究为业，因此纯如从小就重视智力成果的价值。青少年时期，她在伊利诺伊大学图书馆和其他地方图书馆中花费数千小时，锻炼阅读和快速处理信息的能力。纯如编辑了一份详尽的诺贝尔奖和普利策奖获奖作品清单，以及奥斯卡获奖电影名单，并着手阅读其中每一部作品，观看每一部影片。她连休息日都在系统研究这些著作和电影。 　　 纯如中学阶段就读于伊利诺伊大学附属中学 (University of Illinois ’ s University High School ，简称伊大附中 ) ，学校很小，但学习压力很大，学生主要由通过了严格入学考试的教授子女组成，大家学习都很刻苦。该校出了好几位诺贝尔奖得主，以及其他许多获...
