About this event:
Ami Gandhi, executive director of SAAPRI, will present the stories of pioneer South Asian American immigrants – immigrants from India and Pakistan who came to Illinois between 1945 and 1965. This has been the first attempt by any group to document the history of South Asian immigration to Illinois in the pre-civil rights era. Ami is an attorney who is passionate about serving the South Asian American community and has significant experience advocating for minorities and immigrants. She frequently writes, teaches, and makes media appearances about civil rights issues.
