VOICES
Every year at the University of Virginia, we work with the Asian Student Union during APAHM (Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month) to present a program called "VOICES". VOICES changes in style and focus annually and brings a 'voice' to our history as well as current issues affecting our community. Some projects in the past have included geishas, movies, professional panels and minority entertainers.
