This eight-part video series — the latest installment in our ongoing In Pursuit of a More Perfect Union campaign — highlights individuals who identify as members of the largest-represented AAPI cultural backgrounds in Philadelphia, according to census data.
Participants include members of Philadelphia’s Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Korean, Hawaiian and Japanese communities.
