A progressive series of events, the month builds upon itself, starting with cultural roots, moving towards the development of Asian Americans in history, and arriving at goals and ideas to empower the community. This theme also alludes to the first time that the Asian American community organized itself for a common goal. Forty years before Hawaii earned its statehood, immigrants from China, Japan, Korea and the Phillipines joined together as a working class for fair wages and humane treatment on sugar cane plantations. With the same spirit, we are coming together on a united front to create programming that will educate participants inside and outside the Asian community about our roots, our collective family histories and what it means to be Asian American.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAsian American Awareness Month will kick off with a film series, with each movie effectively depicting a prominent theme in Asian culture.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Asian American Awareness Month will kick off with a film series, with each movie effectively depicting a prominent theme in Asian culture."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2012-03-23 08:07:54","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:58:29","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-03-26T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2012-03-26T23:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-03-26T23:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-03-26 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-03-27 03:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-03-27 03:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"118751":{"id":"118751","type":"image","title":"Asian American Awareness Month: Roots Theme","body":null,"created":"1449178256","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:30:56","changed":"1475894738","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:45:38","alt":"Asian American Awareness Month: Roots Theme","file":{"fid":"194308","name":"roots_email.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/roots_email.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/roots_email.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":114925,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/roots_email.jpg?itok=VwfoL11I"}}},"media_ids":["118751"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/aasa.gatech.edu\/","title":"Asian American Student Association"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"27871","name":"aasa"},{"id":"27291","name":"asian american awareness month"},{"id":"27281","name":"asian american student association"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:gtaasa@gmail.com\u0022\u003EGar Yeung\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003EAsian American Student Association\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
