ABOUT INTERSECTIONS
AAJA was founded in 1981, just one year before Vincent Chin was murdered by two frustrated auto workers in Detroit, a decade before the Los Angeles Uprisings, and two decades before September 11. Throughout it all, AAPI journalists and communities have been there to make an impact on newsroom coverage during key moments in American history.
AAJA published “Intersections: A Journalistic History of Asian Pacific America” in partnership with UCLA’s Asian American Studies Center, featuring eighteen chapters and sixteen profiles of legends amongst our membership and communities.
