The OurStory Series

American history is multi-layered, multi-faceted, and just so darn complicated. REALSOUL's OurStory Series uses an Asian American perspective to talk about these complexities surrounding communities of color. Our posters and lesson guides include themes of exclusion, resistance, and more. Our goal is to not give all the answers. Rather, we encourage students to discuss and question the society they've been handed while imagining the one they truly desire.
