Sampan Newspaper
VerifiedNewspaper
Sampan is a newspaper based in Chinatown in Boston, Massachusetts. It is New England's only bilingual Chinese and English newspaper. The newspaper was founded in 1972 by volunteers of the Asian American Civic Association, then known as the Chinese American Civic Association; its slogan is "Boston's oldest bilingual Chinese-English newspaper since 1972". It is distributed throughout Greater Boston and covers news of Boston's Chinatown as well as the Greater Boston Asian American community.
A sampan is a flat-bottomed wooden boat, still used today in parts of Southeast Asia for fishing, transportation or even habitation. It is a metaphor, which symbolizes that this newspaper would bring news of the Chinese community, in both Chinese and English, around the city of Boston, providing a means to acquire information about the community to non-English speakers as well as non-Chinese speakers.

Spanning three floors — one each for toys, snacks, and beauty products — the store’s imported goods come from numerous parts of Asia. Max Emomov, visiting the store for the first time, recounted how he wanted to visit earlier because he lived nearby.

What It Means to ‘Be American,’ Bias Against Asians, Tackled in New Report
These were among some of the key findings of the TAAF report, which included polling conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. The recent report looked into American adults’ perceptions toward the AAPI community in everyday lives, including AAPI’s cultural influence, feeling of safety in public spaces and common misconceptions.

Review: Asian American Ballet Project Taps Into World of Imagination, Storytelling
In many cultures, fairytales are used to help children better understand the world they live in. But these fantastical stories also hold value for adults, captivating their imaginations through symbolism and exploration of the human psyche. These tales need not be restricted to spoken word, as demonstrated by the Asian American Ballet Project in its fourth annual performance, “Once Upon Our Time,” on June 27 and 28 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Quincy Schools' Decision on Lunar New Year Cheered
In this school district where nearly 40% of students identify as Asian, students used to have to choose between education and following their cultural rituals before the holiday was recognized.
