Conclusion

This experience was extremely interesting for our group because we are all immigrants or the children of immigrants. We were able to relate to the stories that these shop owners shared with us. Even with the history and the research we did, most of us did not have any idea about the background of Asian American immigration and all of the history and discrimination that lies within it. With this project, we were able to educate ourselves on a small fraction of immigrant stories. These kind of stories are the most important and have to be shared so we were very thankful for the opportunity to get to share them. By talking to these shop owners and residents of the International District, we were able to learn more about Asian history. We are very thankful to the three stores that we visited, Pho Ba, Kaname Izakaya and Cake House for speaking with us and allowing us to share their stories.
