Season 5 Episode #5: We Owe Them
Manage episode 271433188 series 1182671
To whom do you feel indebted for your civil rights and citizenship status in America?
Your parents or your parents’ parents? Or yourself?
Frankly, I had never considered this question until I came across Eileen Huang’s critical letter urging the Chinese American community to confront their anti-Black racist statements and stereotypes.
In her words, “We owe them (referring to Africans Americans) everything.”
In Season 5 True Colors: Episode 5 “We Owe Them”, Eileen makes a case for Asians to acknowledge what she perceives as our racist attitude against Black people in America, and to begin difficult conversations with our parents' generation.
Eileen Huang is a creative writer, and a junior at Yale University.
Music used: One in a Billion Theme Song by Brad McCarthy Break Through by Pictures of the Floating World Inside the Moon by Stephan Seibart The Place I Called Home by Julie Maxwell As the Crow Flies by Axeltree Dreaming Days by Ketsa True Colors - a Season 5 Special Series - is about the color of one’s character in a time of crisis.
In this 10-part podcast series, we have expanded our focus beyond Asians to include the African American experiences in Episode #1 and Episode #3.
We want to include you in this conversation.
