Ep 126 AAPI Heritage Month!

It's always fun to get together with my teacher pals, but it was even more fun to get together at my new favorite Southeast Asian restaurant, Lime Tree!  Loan, Vicky, Jackie, and I got together right before our Spring Break to talk about AAPI history, facts, and historical figures.  Pictured here is the Tape family, their 8-year-old daughter, Mamie, was part of a Supreme Court case that led to the desegregation of schools in America in 1885.   I hope you learn something and have fun at the same time!

Fact check: I said George W. Bush signed AAPI Heritage Month into law... but it was his dad George H.W. Bush who signed it in 1992.  (Loan knew it... but I blew it)

We recorded at Lime Tree in SF's Richmond District, and as a special treat, we got to interview the owner Ming too!  (We stayed for dinner, we're not sponsored by them, but I can tell you that the food is super yummy and you should go!) https://www.yelp.com/biz/lime-tree-southeast-asian-kitchen-san-francisco-2

Thanks to my guests and our host Ming for making it a really fun and delicious night!
