Arnold Chu
My name is Arnold Chu. I’ve been involved with the Chinese American community all my life. I have worked on immigrant education, voter registration, scholarships, and chineses arts and education over the decades. I am on the Board of the Asian Financial Society and the New York Chinese Cultural Center as well as the MIT Chinese Alumna Group.
One major lesson that I have learnt along the way is that social change depends on changing people’s beliefs and perception. And that cannot be done through rational persuasion alone. This Round Table will explore how we can create our own stories that reach the hearts of all Americans. How do we change the mainstream views/assumptions about CA both at the emotional and rational levels? What stories should we tell? What media should be used?
