A New PBS Series Is (Depressingly) Relevant Right Now

Actor Daniel Dae Kim, one of the first celebrities (after Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson) to reveal that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, is one of the narrators for a new series that chronicles the centuries-long history of Asian Americans in North America. Kim: “What will it take for us to be considered American? I think that’s a central question of this documentary, as you see even today elderly Asian-Americans being beaten and taunted in the midst of this virus.” – The New York Times
