IN THE NEWS

“In March, Drenka and Johnson founded the Dallas Asian American Historical Society. The nonprofit organization researches, preserves, and highlights the legacy of Asian Americans in the Dallas community.”

D Magazine

“Drenka said, ‘But what we know as historians and as people of color is that it’s not new, and that hate crimes against people of color have been happening in this country since the country was founded.’ She said this is an echo of history repeating itself.”

WFAA

“I feel like if people can hear these stories, it adds another level of compassion and understanding,” Denise Johnson said. “Hopefully it will leave a legacy having a whole new generation of understanding of different cultures and acceptance.”

Dallas Morning News
