Join The Asian American Education Project for a live, virtual workshop in partnership with the Wisconsin Council for Social Studies, the Wisconsin Historical Society, and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

The year 2025 represents a significant milestone: the 50th anniversary of the HMong community’s first arrival to the United States. We invite you to join us for a workshop that delves into the complex history, life stories, and resilience of HMong Americans in Wisconsin. This workshop will offer resources grounded in a culturally sustaining framework to teach these often overlooked stories.
