Lee Quoted in the Minnesota Daily

Rich Lee, PhD, Distinguished McKnight University Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota, recently reflected on Dr. Erika Lee’s (an Asian American studies professor at the U of M) testimony before Congress in a Minnesota Daily article titled, “‘Unfortunately, it is very American’: UMN professor testifies before Congress about anti-Asian violence.

Dr. Erika Lee was invited to testify in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties to share a historical perspective on anti-Asian racism in the United States. Dr. Rich Lee felt that her testimony provided important historical context to other personal stories and present-day facts. This presentation communicated that this is not a new phenomenon.
