    Dear Mia, May I offer an informative venue for students everywhere. There is a website at http://www.chineseamericanheroes.org where students can read stories which will provide Asian/Chinese Americans with role models and also concise reports on Asian American history. This project has still a lot of information to research and finalize, but what is available has taken seven (7) years to gather, edit and publish. There are biographies of heroes few have heard of and are most inspiring. Hope that this information source is helpful and useful for all teachers and students.
