Hosted by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP)
Zoom Webinar - Registration Required (Free)

Many of the historic sites and spaces that are significant to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are underrepresented when it comes to official recognition. Less than 3 percent of the official sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places are associated with AAPI history. Preservation practitioners around the country are advocating for the preservation of sites that represent the culture and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. At a time when many historic Chinatowns are at-risk of erasure from encroaching development and gentrification, professionals and community members are working together to preserve their heritage for future generations.

Panelists:

• Huy Pham-Executive Director, APIAHiP: Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation

• M. Rosalind Sagara-Neighborhood Outreach Manager at the Los Angeles Conservancy

• Deborah Wei, Co-Founder, Asian Americans United
