Title
- Bridging Homeland and Homegrown
Summary
- Ambassador Christopher R. Hill was the keynote speaker at the launch of the Asian Pacific American Lecture Series. His speech centered on preserving America's relationships with her allies in Asia. He focused specifically on the initial talks and diplomatic outreach to open channels of communication between North Korea and the State Department. Asian-American communities and business corporations can be reassured that diplomatic relations between their specific Asian homeland and their communities here in America will remain strong and connected. An important goal of the lecture series is to focus on the Asian Division's newest collection: the Asian Pacific American Collection. An initiative to create such a collection was encouraged by Congressman Mike Honda, chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, who felt that APA contributions in American history went unrecognized and an APA collection in the Library of Congress would be a positive reinforcement towards removing that invisibility.
