An American vocabulary: Words to action, title graphic

An American Vocabulary: Words to Action consists of twenty-one multilingual flash cards that illustrate the four themes of ancestor, voice, persistence, and care through the portrayal of Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) figures, events, actions, and values. A set of discussion questions invites people to consider their own relationships to language, identity, and community. The flash cards symbolize the way AANHPI communities translate their inimitable American histories across linguistic, cultural, and imaginative barriers.

We invite you to use these cards to expand and explore your own imagination of history and our present realities. View the card images below.
