The Power of Music
By Sojin Kim, Theo Gonzalves, Lawrence-Minh Bùi Davis, Deborah Wong and Richie Traktivist — 2021
Music carries a special power—to physically and emotionally move us. It connects us to other people and places. Through these tracks, we call up the ancestors, stay present and look to the future. We invite you to explore the diverse ways through which Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders use music for affirmation and consolation, as a call to action and to find their joy.
