Interconnected Trailer

The time of Covid-19 has forced a long-standing inter-minority conflict between Asian American and African American communities to resurface within the public eye.

Tracing its history from the 1800s through the present, these two racial groups have held racial biases and prejudices against the other, which has led to violent and traumatic events.

“Interconnected: Confronting Racial Prejudice between Asian American and African American communities,” is an AAPI Heritage Month Panel Series co-hosted by the Asian American Christian Collaborative and Be the Bridge.

This 3-part series maps out the history of inter-minority conflict between Asian Americans and African Americans; it addresses the problem of racial biases from a biblical perspective; and, finally, it considers paths of healing and solidarity moving forward. Our aim is to educate, equip, and empower African American and Asian American Christians to think historically, biblically and humbly about their relationships with each other, and for these truths to open up new pathways for conversations, bridge building, and discipleship. A reflection guide will also accompany the series to be used for personal and group study.
