Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Mark Takai passed away this Wednesday following a nine-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a first-term Democratic congressman, representing the 1st district of Hawaii.
Mee Moua, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, issued the following statement:
A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the Northeast breaks the myth of AANHPI as "model minorities" by underlining the enormous growth and diversity within these communities, paired with heightened civic awareness.
A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the South is a much needed resource supporting growing Asian American and NHPI movements in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region with concrete and up-to-date data and policy recommendations.
