Asian Pacific American people, places, and events that shaped our world have gone under- and unrepresented in the historical record.

New to Wikipedia? Don't worry - Training and lunch will be provided. Laptops are required. Please bring your own. Wikimedia has two laptops to loan. Reserve one by emailing info@wikimediadc.org.
