I Was Moved By Jeff Chang's Commencement Speech


Hip-hop journalist Jeff Chang gave a
commencement speech for Asian Americans
at UCLA on 6/20/05.


I was checking out AngryAsianMan.com and happened across Jeff Chang's—author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation—commencement speech for UCLA's Asian American Studies department.

I don't think I've ever read something that speaks so directly about being an American of Asian descent.

I remember he was a guest speaker at an Asian American studies class I was taking at UC Irvine. He spoke about how he started Giant Robot magazine.
