Hello AACP Newsletter Blog Readers.

We’ve just linked our latest newsletter (June 2025) to this page. Have a look.

Our first article is Part 1 of a series of articles on the status of historical AAPI sites. We are hoping to shed some light on how they are doing with all the cuts in financial support and changes in policy from our government.

Part 1 is a short interview with Marlene Shigekawa, president of the board of the nonprofit organization “Poston Community Alliance.” Poston Community Alliance is involved with the preservation of the Poston Internment Camp (https://www.postonpreservation.org/poston-internment), along with the stories and memories of those that were at this site during World War II.

For our second article, we have the 11th edition of our Summer Trips series. Each June, we write about places of interests that have some connection with the AAPI community. We hope you like our picks for this year. Let us know if you have any suggestions for next year.

I was contact by a librarian from the San Francisco Main Library about a “Genealogy and Family History Symposium 2025” this coming Tuesday and Wednesday (July 22 and 23, 2025). The sessions look pretty interesting, check out the descriptions for yourself.

That’s it for now.

Take care.
