'I felt like I just wasn't part of American history. We would always learn about Columbus and the pilgrimage, and civil war,' said Kim Yim.
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Pennsylvania parents and students rallied on the Capitol Steps in Harrisburg on Monday in support of the AAPI History Inclusion Act. The bill calls for the inclusion of Asian American and Pacific Islanders studies in schools and is co-sponsored by one of our local lawmakers.
But not about how Asian Americans have served the U.S. too including Stella's dad, a member of the United States Army. Both 7th graders said it's been tough at times to feel proud of who they are. A recent study shows just 29% of Asian Americans feel like they belong and are accepted in the U.S. Seventy-one percent say they're discriminated against.
