AAPI Representation in Media: Article Discussion and Service Project
Sunday, May 5, 2024
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Teen Room
Library staff facilitate a discussion of a thought-provoking article.
In The New York Times opinion multimedia essay, “Generation Connie,” journalist Connie Wang writes about the impact of trailblazing Chinese-American news anchor Connie Chung. We’ll discuss the article and collaborate on a service project on the topic of Asian American and Pacific Islander representation in media and American pop culture.
Read the article via The New York Times (Skokie Public Library cardholders can acquire free, 72-hour access to The New York Times website and mobile apps through the library). Participants will earn service hours.
Email the Teen Team if you have any questions. For grades 6-12.
