KBTC Asian Americans Documentary Launch In collaboration with our local PBS affiliate KBTC, CEI Director Jimmy McCarty and Faculty Associate Tanya Velasquez were part of a planning committee for the local launch of the newly released documentary Asian Americans. Due to COVID-19 , this live event was quickly transitioned to an online event. This virtual launch included a panel of local experts that was moderated by Dr. McCarty and featured Dean Rachel Endo (School of Education) alongside local leaders in the Asian American community. This event was covered by The News Tribune: https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article242690536.html
