Shining a Light: The Missing Stories: South Asian American History from the 1700s to Today

Join the Greenwich Historical Society for the next virtual lecture in the series Shining a Light. In “The Missing Stories,” SAADA’s Executive Director Samip Mallick will cover how South Asian American communities come to be excluded from the archival record and how we can address these absences. Samip will provide an introduction to South Asian American history (1700s to present) and will also discuss how community-based archives can become sites for liberatory memory work by introducing the audience to SAADA’s archival collections, programs, and participatory storytelling projects.
