A Multi-faceted Teaching of U.S. History Creates Unity

The history of the United States is complex, composed of overlapping experiences, voices, and stories that have shaped our nation.

When these layered perspectives are taught, students learn to not only value themselves but all people in our society.

At AAVEd, we promote the teaching of comprehensive U.S. history as a path to fostering understanding and relational connection in the classroom and beyond.

We Create a Better Society by Telling the Full Story

Break Down Stereotypes

Education is the key to uprooting damaging stereotypes and misguided beliefs. Stereotypes are hard to sustain once students understand how the efforts, struggles and heroic deeds of marginalized groups helped shape this nation.

Promote Unity

Teaching interrelated narratives shows learners from diverse backgrounds that they share common struggles and experiences. This is one example of how inclusive history can bridge communities and promote unity.

Foster a Sense of Belonging

Asian Americans and learners from other underrepresented groups can trade “otherness” for a sense of belonging when their contributions are brought into the telling of American history. This lays a foundation for the collaborative and cooperative work that is necessary for social transformation.

Educator Resources

Excellent Asian American History lesson plans already exist!

Here in Georgia, AAVEd is developing resources specifically aligned with the GA Department of Education Standards of Excellence. These will show how Asian American history is woven together with the histories of all people in the United States. We look forward to sharing these with you in Fall of 2023!

Linda Hinh

Board Member

Linda is a First-Generation Vietnamese American that was born in Louisiana, but raised in the suburbs of Atlanta where she currently lives with her husband, son, and fur-baby. She’s a graduate of Georgia State University (GSU) and is a Technology Underwriting Director for a national insurance carrier.   

Linda’s passion is to ensure that everyone has the same rights and opportunities in life, with a focus on the Asian American Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community.  Among other activities, this passion includes chartering an Asian-Interest sorority to GSU and co-founding her current company’s AANHPI Business Resource Group. After learning about AAVEd and their critical mission to incorporate Asian American studies in the Georgia school curriculum, she realized that this was lacking during her education and knew that she needed to be an advocate.  Asian Americans have a rich history filled with struggles and successes that contributed to the course of American History. Linda is a strong believer that knowing more about your own history as well as others allows us to build empathy and create allies.
