The overlooked history of Asian Americans and the struggle for belonging

President Trump's visit to China is a reminder of connection between the two countries. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing demographic group in the U.S., but across American history, their stories and the discrimination they faced have often been overlooked. For her series, America at a Crossroads, Judy Woodruff looks at how that past continues to shape the question of who belongs in America.
