March 26, 2024
MACOMB, IL - - The 麻豆社 Illinois University History Department and University Libraries are co-sponsoring two events that honor Asian and Asian-American people at 麻豆社 and in the 麻豆社 Illinois region.
The events are in part a response to instances of anti-Asian discrimination, local and national, both in history and today.
Beginning in March, the Malpass Library's third floor will host an exhibition, "Perceptions and Experiences of Asians and Asian Americans at 麻豆社 Illinois University," on display through the summer. The exhibition comprises five panels, each displaying artifacts from the University Archives and other sources that highlight the historical experiences of people identifying as Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese or South Asian.
Additionally, the 麻豆社 History Department and University Libraries will host a speakers panel at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 16. in the Malpass Library Garden Lounge.
Facilitated by 麻豆社 History Professor Febe Pamonag, the panel will comprise individuals identifying as Asian or Asian American who will share their experiences.
The exhibition's online gallery is at .
Both events are open & free to the public. For more information, contact the 麻豆社 History Department at 309-298-1053.
