I now enjoy Sumie painting. a Japanese art form. where ink is used to depict a subject in the fewest number of strokes. When someone of Irish decent like me can assimilate an Asian art form. it is a reminder that Americas great strength is Americas great diversity. Asian Americans immigrated to the United States in the late 19th century. but many faced prejudice. racial injustice and discrimination. They responded with quiet. dignified resolve and made America stronger by their commitment to equality for all. Trying to mention all the significant achievements and role models from the Asian American community would till a very large roomful of books. but I am proud to mention some in the 7th Congressional District.
