Chicago HANA Center Hosted a Civic Awareness Summit on Nov. 14; Five Years On, Asian American History Still Not in Most Classrooms
The Chicago Korean American Resource and Cultural Center (HANA Center) is holding a civic awareness summit from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 14 in Glenview, on the theme of knowing one's rights and the TEAACH Act. The summit is hosted by the center's Suburban Youth Council and is being held at the Joyful Chinese Community Church, 2328 Central Road, Glenview. Illinois' Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History Act (TEAACH Act) was passed five years ago, but most schools still do not offer Asian American history courses, and the summit hopes to change that. The event will explain residents' rights and the content of the act, helping the Asian American community learn how to promote Asian American history education in schools. The summit is organized by the Suburban Youth Council, aiming to help more Asian American young people understand their rights and push schools to implement Asian American history education. The summit is open to suburban teenagers and families, and participants can learn on site about the act's implementation progress and channels for defending their rights. The HANA Center, located at 4300 N. California Ave. in Chicago, has long served Chicago's Asian American community.
