Visiting Scholar Dr. Konrad Ng Joins Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program


Maya and Konrad Go to Washington

Here's a New York Times article on something that we had heard about months ago. President Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, along with her husband, Konrad, and their two daughters, are relocating to DC for a few months.  (We congratulated Konrad during our AAPI House Party Call back in May. He'll be doing his research on online political activism.)


Thank you!

Thank You from Konrad Ng and Maya Soetoro-Ng

A thank you from the First Sister and First Brother-In-Law: We thank you for your expressions of love and sympathy on the passing of our beloved Tutu, Madelyn Dunham. Tutu was the matriarch of this family, and, although she is not here with us in body, we all felt her powerful spirit with us during this historic event.
