Jackie Robinson Day is celebrated by Major League Baseball every April 15. Ben Railton writes for the Saturday Evening Post about Robinson's friendship with Shigeo "Shig" Takayama, a largely forgotten teammate who, like 120,000 other Japanese Americans, was incarcerated in an internment camp during WWII.

Many people may not know that Taiwanese Americans exist, that we have a distinct culture and language from that of the Chinese, that the first wave of migrants here fought to end a dictatorship back home and are still fighting to maintain their freedom there. I wrote about my family’s and others’ journey here in Houston. #AAPI #Asianamericanhistory #taiwaneseamerican https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-hotbed-taiwanese-nationalism/

🍉 There is a long history of South Asian American activists standing with colonized people under attack.
I recently came across this 1947 newspaper clipping on the South Asian American Digital Archive website.
The article is from the papers of ex-Gadharite Godha Ram Channon.
It describes him teaming up with Black, Greek, Communist, and labor organizers in San Francisco to protest Dutch attacks during the Indonesian National Revolution.

🧵 Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth!
People usually trace Asian American movements to 1968.
But I found an old newspaper article about an "Oriental Students Association" at the University of California in 1907, with members from India, China, Thailand, and Japan.
Do you see what I see? Here's the story 👇🏽

We had three groups from schools and universities come on the Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour in the past week:
https://www.berkeleysouthasian.org/
There were Stanford undergrads, USF education grad students, and finally, two local South Asian high school groups who had fundraised to be able to attend.
We love all our attendees, but the high schoolers were adorable — and insightful.
