This event will discuss the history of Burmese-Americans in Michigan, and related political organizing such as the founding of the Burma Center in Battle Creek, MI. This conversation will also center ethnic and religious minorities in Burma, and how these identities play into Burmese American organizing. We will end by asking how community members and activists can integrate the identities and histories of Burmese ethnic minorities in our efforts for collective liberation.
