Lecture by Asian American civil rights activist and performer, Nobuko Miyamoto.

In 1973, together with Chris Iijima and Charlie Chin, Nobuko Miyamoto created the first album of Asian American music, "A Grain of Sand," now part of the Smithsonian Institution collection.  The album has been hailed as the soundtrack of the Asian American Movement. Since 1978, Miyamoto has been Artistic Director of Great Leap, Inc., a non-profit arts organization which uses the arts to promote deeper understanding between the diverse cultures of America.

This event is part of the Asian American Studies Program Series on Art and Activism funded by the UGST Initiative Fund.
