Events › Voices Across Generations: Reimagining Cincinnati’s Asian & Pacific Islander American Histories Through Memory and Place

The historical archive of the Queen City is marked by silences and absences that leave early Asian and Pacific Islander Cincinnatians flattened, fragmented, or missing from the larger narrative of the city. Public historian Jim Tecco explains how these archival gaps produce an incomplete history of Cincinnati. He will also discuss a community participatory memory map project he is developing that will challenge these silences by bringing together oral history, family memory, and place to reclaim fuller, community-centered APIA histories in Cincinnati.
