Meet Emma Fukunaga (she/her), CAM’s summer Getty

Meet Emma Fukunaga (she/her), CAM’s summer Getty Marrow Undergraduate Intern in Public Programming. She is a rising senior pursuing a major in Asian American Studies with a minor in Sociology at Scripps College.

She is excited to conduct in-depth research on Asian American experiences, potentially with a focus on Asian American women and sexuality, to complete her thesis in her final academic year.

Emma identifies as Japanese American and grew up learning about and celebrating her cultural heritage with her family, especially through food and oral histories. Her appreciation for her identity deepened when she joined Scripps’s Asian American Sponsor Program, a mentorship organization to support first-year AAPI students as they transition to campus life. She considers it a privilege and honor to be a leader and peer in the program that allows her to meet amazing AAPI students from whom she could learn and connect with.

Believing that museums are important creative and educational spaces, she doesn’t consider her summer breaks complete without a trip to her favorites in LA.

Emma is also a dancer and enjoys baking and crocheting in her free time! After graduation, she hopes to follow a career path in museum education and public programming, and she’s looking forward to learning more about these fields during her time at CAM.

Leave a comment telling Emma what museum she should visit next!

來認識一下 Emma Fukunaga（她/她），她是華美博物館蓋蒂瑪蘿 (Getty Marrow) 大學實習計劃之公共項目實習生。她是斯克利普斯學院 (Scripps College) 的的大四學生，主修美國亞裔研究，輔修社會學。

她很高興能夠對美國亞裔的經歷進行深入研究，重點可能是美國亞裔婦女與性問題，以便在最後一個學年完成她的畢業論文。

Emma是美籍日裔人，在成長過程中，她通過食物與口述歷史，與家人一起學習及慶祝她的傳統文化習俗。當她參加斯克利普斯學院的美國亞裔生贊助計劃時，她對個人的身分有了更深的認識，該計劃輔導一年級的亞太裔學生順利適應校園生活。她認為能在這個項目擔任領導與同儕是一份榮譽，讓她能夠結識優秀的美國亞太裔學生，她可以向他們學習及交流。

她深信博物館是重要的創意與教育場所，在洛杉磯如果不去她最喜歡的博物館參觀，她的暑假就有所欠缺。

Emma還是一名舞蹈員，空閒時間她喜歡烘焙與鉤針編織！畢業後，她希望能夠從事博物館教育暨公共項目方面的工作，並期待在華美博物館實習期間更深入瞭解這些領域的知識！
請留言告訴Emma下一步應該參觀哪個博物館！

Kristin Dea is this year’s digital engagement in

Kristin Dea is this year’s digital engagement intern at CAM through the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship Program. A rising junior at Biola University, Kristin plans to use her major in business administration to concentrate in the marketing field to work in consumer behavior or market research.

She visited the Chinese American Museum with her family several years ago and remembers how meaningful it was to watch her grandfather thoughtfully browse the exhibits and re-connect with his cultural heritage.

Kristin has developed a rich connection to her culture through sharing the love of Chinese food - appreciating the countless moments of enjoying delicious home cooked Chinese dishes with her family. Sitting at the dinner table was a time when her family would graciously serve one another, showing their care for each other beyond using words.

In her free time, Kristin enjoys watercolor painting or checking out new cafes - finding a good matcha latte always sparks joy!

During her internship, Kristin is thrilled to find unique ways to engage the community online. Make sure you follow CAM on Instagram to see her upcoming projects.

謝美蓮 (Kristin Dea) 是今年通過蓋蒂瑪蘿 (Getty Marrow) 大學實習計劃成為華美博物館數字參與實習生。作為拜歐拉 (Biola) 大學的大三學生，謝美蓮計劃藉著她在工商管理專業的學習，專注於市場營銷領域，從事消費者行為或市場研究工作。

數年前，她曾與家人一起參觀了華美博物館，她還記得祖父若有所思地瀏覽展品，重新勾起了個人的文化傳統。

謝美蓮藉著熱愛分享中華美食，與她的文化建立了深厚的聯繫。她享受著與家人一起品嚐美味的家常中餐時刻。坐在餐桌前，她的家人會親切地互相服務，展現出對彼此的關心，無需用言語來表達。

在空閒時間，謝美蓮喜歡畫水彩畫，或去新開業的咖啡館，品嚐一杯美味的抹茶拿鐵，她就會感到滿心喜悅！

在實習期間，謝美蓮很高興能找到獨特的方式來參與社區線上活動。請務必在Instagram上關注華美博物館，瞭解她即將展開的項目。

We are honored to announce that Helen Zia is joini

We are honored to announce that Helen Zia is joining our program as a speaker for this Friday’s event, “Commemorating the Legacy of Vincent Chin”. This program is also co-sponsored by the Vincent Chin Institute.

***

Join the Chinese American Museum virtually on Friday, June 23 at 5pm PDT as we commemorate the legacy of Vincent Chin.

In June of 1982, Vincent Chin, a young Chinese American man, was out with friends celebrating his bachelor party when he was brutally beaten by two white men in a violent act of racism. Days after the attack, Chin died from his wounds, leaving behind a heartbroken fiancé and a devastated mother. The two murderers never served one day of jail time and walked away with a minimal fine in exchange for Chin’s life. This tragedy galvanized solidarity amongst Asian Americans, launching the fight for unity, justice and human rights across the AAPI communities.

We’ve invited community leaders and educators to engage in a conversation to remind us of this moment in our community’s history and to encourage us to continue to remain proactive in fighting racism amid rising anti-Asian violence in today’s highly polarized social and political climate.

Speakers include:
• Helen Zia, Activist, Author, Former Journalist
• Stewart Kwoh, Attorney, Civil Rights Leader, Educator
• Ron Wakabayashi, former Regional Director, US Justice Department's Community Relations Service
• Dr. Gay Yuen, Friends of the Chinese American Museum Board Chair

With a special message from Congressmember Judy Chu.

我們很榮幸地宣佈，謝漢蘭 (Helen Zi) 將於本週五加入我們與陳果仁研究所合辦的「陳果仁遇害紀念」活動，並擔任發言人。

誠邀大家於2023年6月23日（星期五）晚上5時（美國太平洋夏令時間）參加華美博物館悼念美籍華裔陳果仁 (Vincent Chin) 之視像活動。

1982年6月，年輕的美國華裔男子陳果仁 (Vincent Chin) 與朋友外出慶祝他脫離單身派對時，因種族主義而被兩名白人男子殘忍地毆打。遇襲後數天，陳果仁因傷勢過重而死亡，留下了傷心欲絕的未婚妻及飽受打擊的母親。這兩名兇手沒有坐過一天牢，只被判繳付最低的罰款便換取了陳果仁的寶貴生命。這一悲劇激發了美國亞裔團結一致，在整個亞太裔社區發起了團結、正義與人權的抗爭。

我們邀請了社區領袖與教育工作者進行對話，提醒我們社區在歷史上所發生的時刻，並鼓勵我們在當今高度分化的社會和政治環境中、在不斷上升的反亞裔暴力事件中，繼續保持積極主動地打擊種族主義。

演講者包括：
謝漢蘭 (Helen Zia) ，活動家、作家、前記者

郭志明 (Stewart Kwoh) 律師、民權領袖、教育家
Ron Wakabayashi 前美國司法部社區關係處區域主任

The Chinese American Museum is sad to announce the

The Chinese American Museum is sad to announce the passing of one of the museum’s founders, Judge Ronald S.W. Lew (1941-2023).

Judge Ronald S.W. Lew was involved with the Chinese American Museum from its early beginnings. He served as a board member of the Friends of the Chinese American Museum (FCAM) in 1988. A decade later, he became Board President in 1998 and served until 2000. He was presented with the Historymakers Award in Law and Justice in 2001. He also received many accolades for his unwavering dedication to supporting the community from other organizations including the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and the Chinatown Service Center. He continued his support for the museum by serving as FCAM President Emeritus for the past 23 years. He also served as Chair of the Leadership Circle to support the growth of the museum and as Chair of the Advisory Committee to guide the museum’s future.

We have been fortunate to have a Historymakers Award named in his honor, the Judge Ronald S.W. Lew Visionary Award. Since its inception, the award has been given to individuals that carry his passion for serving the community.

We will never forget his tremendous contribution to the Chinese American Museum.

For over fifty years, New York native Corky Lee photographed his hometown's Chinatown, and Asian American communities around the country. With a strong sense of social justice, he captured activists, celebrities, and everyday heroes with equal passion, taking over a hundred thousand photos. Sadly, while documenting the latest rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, Corky fell to COVID-19. Through his own words and pictures, “Dear Corky” reveals the man behind the camera.

誠邀大家於5月23日（星期二）晚上6時30分來到華美博物館，共同緬懷我們的朋友、攝影記者李揚國 (Corky Lee) 的生命與遺產。此次活動包括放映紀錄片《Dear Corky》，以及與影片導演Curtis Chin、影片剪輯Kenneth Eng、美國亞裔記者協會全國理事Jireh Deng，以及華美博物館之友董事會主席阮桂銘博士 (Dr. Gay Yuen) 共同分享。此特別項目將給予社區民眾憶述李揚國的事蹟。

請於簡介中的鏈接登記參加。

過去50多年來，來自紐約的攝影師李揚國 (Corky Lee) 拍攝了他的華埠家鄉，以及美國各地的亞裔社區。憑藉強烈的社會正義感，他充滿熱誠地捕捉了活動家、名人及一般英雄等情景的照片達十萬多張。可悲的是，當李揚國在記錄最近的反亞裔仇恨犯罪時，不幸染上新冠肺炎而逝世。現在只能通過他的文字與圖片、紀錄片《Dear Corky》來瞭解鏡頭背後的人物。
