Happy International Women's Day 2021!

Today at 3PM EST/ 12PM PST "Race in America" with Erika Lee and Helen Zia

During the coronavirus pandemic, Asian Americans have experienced a sharp increase in racist verbal abuse and physical attacks. From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the World War II internment of Japanese residents, to the 1982 killing of Chinese American Vincent Chin, anti-Asian racism has taken different forms over the course of our history. On Monday, March 8 at 3:00 pm ET, national reporter Michelle Ye Hee Lee speaks with author and historian Erika Lee, together with author and activist Helen Zia, about how the past can help inform our understanding of where we are today.

"Recent studies prove a racialized component to impostor syndrome, noting that experiences with racial discrimination, combating negative racial stereotypes about intellectual inferiority, and underrepresentation may cause high-achieving Black people to feel like impostors despite impressive resumes. But even these studies fail to consider that for Black women, racism is gendered and sexism is racialized."
