Asian American Teen Podcast Program
In Collaboration with Ossining Library
When we first learned about our Asian American history through The Bittermelon, we felt that it was important for others to know about it too, especially since it is not commonly taught in schools. In collaboration with the Obscure History School, another teen-led project of The Bittermelon, we did a deep dive into Asian American history and produced easy-to-follow podcast recordings for curious young students. We hope that, through the history that we share, you can relate to our podcast hosts' experiences and explore your identity in a meaningful and memorable way, too.
Episode 1 Immigration Restriction Acts
Do you ever wonder why you're the only Asian American in your class? Maybe even in your entire school or town? There is a reason! Find out in this first episode of the Asian American Teen Podcast.
Episode 2 Our Stake in Building America: The Transcontinental Railroad
Did you know it used to take monthsssss to travel out to California from New York? But that changed with the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Americans were able to travel and trade more easily, and live in different parts of the indigenous land. But life wasn't improving for everyone. Find out why in this episode of the Transcontinental Railroad & The Chinese Exclusion Act.
