A resolution was passed to combat harassment and acts of violence against Asian Americans in Montgomery County. The horrific reality is that Asian and Pacific Islanders are experiencing discrimination, physical assault and verbal harassment at historically high rates. "<a href="https://stopaapihate.org/about/">StopAAPIHate</a>," a center that tracks and responds to incidents of hate of violence, harassment and child bullying against the AAPI community, has released a new report recording nearly 3,800 Anti-Asian hate incidents between March 19, 2020, and February 28, 2021. More than 500 of these incidents occurred this year. "Against the backdrop of national news, a pattern of violent and heinous assaults against senior citizens and robberies and vandalism of Asian-owned businesses have amplified the Asian comminutes fear," said Founder, Montgomery County Progressive Asian American Network, Aryani Ong. Historically, National Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month began as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week, first observed in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, who noted the "enormous contributions to the sciences, arts, industry, government and commerce" made by Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush expanded the celebration to cover the whole month of May. It was chosen by the organizers in recognition of May 7, 1843, the date the first Japanese immigrants arrived in the United States, and in recognition of May 10, 1869, which marked the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which would not have been possible without the contributions of Chinese-Americans. The AAPI community represents over 26 different ethnic communities with over 67 unique languages and dialects. The U.S. celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month each May. In taking a deep dive into history, AAPI communities have helped shape the American experience and influenced American culture in areas that range from food to industry and politics. Montgomery College's Office of Advancement and Community Engagement celebrated Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May 26, virtually, to honor AAPI communities, who have enriched America's history and are instrumental in its future success. Post - Event Highlights: A signature program developed at the college to educate all members of the community about cultural heritage and diversity, to showcase the contributions and the challenges that encountered Asian American communities, with the following theme: 2021 Theme: On the Road to building trust, civility and action: Building Culture of Respect through Unity and shattering Stereotypes in Challenging Times. "It is imperative to all of us to understand our perceptions of Asian Americans to promote awareness and dialogues on Anti-Asian hate crimes within the wider community, and to provide support for our diverse communities." Enas Y. Elhanafi, the event organizer of the celebrational event that took place on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, said. The college program featured A PANEL PRESENTATION in support of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Communities. To learn about culture, art, history and contributions of the diverse Asian American communities; raise awareness, and advocacy to the rising number of harassments, hate crimes and stereotypes against the Asian American community.

He teaches in the History and Political Science department on the Rockville campus. He has taught a variety of courses including sociology and he has presented lectures on several topics that include 'The Nature of Prejudice' and 'The Golden Age of Television'. The College presented Krieger with the Excellence in Scholarly or Professional Accomplishments for Part-Time Faculty in 2019. Krieger said he loves teaching at Montgomery College and he especially values the opportunity to work with a large number of colleagues. He has one specific goal in mind when he teaches and that is student engagement. He wants to involve his students in a real and personal way with the ideas, theories and materials of the courses he teaches. He decided to pursue a career in teaching because he wanted to do his part to make society better. "I also wanted to give young people the opportunity to think about the kind of issues and controversies which would likely become relevant to their lives after they left college," Krieger said. He has had some challenging and rewarding moments in the classroom. Krieger says his biggest challenge is the lack of knowledge many students have about historical events and facts. However he has been inspired by some of the connections he has made with students. He recently taught a sociology class where a number of students expressed views which were clearly prejudiced. He then decided to give a lecture on 'The Nature of Prejudice' which focused on how people's ideas about others are often based on classic ethnic, racial and sexual stereotypes. "You could see the light bulbs going off above their heads. One of the students wrote on her final exam that this particular lecture and discussion had fundamentally changed how she looked at life and other people," Krieger said. The Rockville resident says his students continue to inspire him, and he enjoys being around such bright and motivated young people. His hard work in the classroom has been noticed and rewarded. "One of the things which I like about working at Montgomery College is the fact that many students in my classes in recent years have gone out of their way to thank me for teaching them at the end of the courses," Krieger said. When Krieger is not teaching, he enjoys reading, listening to classical music, exercising and dining out with family and friends. Employee News0110 790130
