APSU: Education and Activism

  • Far East Lounge 353 1st Street Los Angeles, CA, 90012 United States (map)

As part of our LINDA VISIONS programming, Visual Communications (VC) presents APSU: Education and Activism, an in-person showcase, discussion, and panel of APSU: Education as a Right, directed by Linda Mabalot and Stann Nakazono. 

About APSU: Education as a Right (1988)

Produced to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the statewide Asian Pacific Student Union (APSU), this collaboration between activists/filmmakers Linda Mabalot and Stann Nakazono observes the rise of a new generation of Asian Pacific American student activists in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 1978 Bakke Decision. Interviews with founders and activists involved with APSU members, former student activists, educators, and local and national politicians paint the portrait of the next generation of Asian Pacific American activists and how grassroots activists began the long process towards empowerment and full participation in America’s social, cultural, and political processes.

JOIN US for an in-person showcase and post-screening panel discussion with educators and activists Joe Virata and Florante Ibanez on Thursday, September 28 @ 6PM at the Far East Lounge as we commemorate the 45th Anniversary of the formation of APSU and celebrate Linda’s legacy. RSVP here!
