[] AAPI Women Who Made History, pt. 3 [] [] Kartar Dhillon [] [ Part 1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/564558805/ ] [ Part 2: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/570212031/ ] [Disclaimer: contains music; switching between "slides" will cause color changes, perhaps especially stark from the first slide (the thumbnail with the title "AAPI Women [...]") to the second "slide" or vice versa and from the second-to-last "slide" (which is the slide that ends with "continue the fight for justice she was so passionate about") to the final "slide" or vice versa.] [Content warning for the project: British colonial rule over India, women's oppression by husbands.] Though I am not personally AAPI (specifically, I am a white person), I felt it important to highlight the role inspiring AAPI women have had in history (and to also do so beyond AAPI Heritage Month). Unfortunately, white-centric and male-centric narratives often erase women of color who have made immense contributions to various fields, such as, in this case, writing and activism. Kartar Dhillon was a writer and activist who fought for the liberation of India from British rule and workers' rights, among other issues. She also supported organizations such as the Black Panthers. Learn more about her in the project by using arrow keys or by clicking / tapping to proceed through the slides. :) <3
