On The Road: Sikh American Truck Drivers

Join The Asian American Education Project for a live, virtual workshop in partnership with the Sikh Coalition to learn about the history and experiences of Sikh American truck drivers.

Sikh Americans account for an estimated 20% of the country’s truck drivers. In this workshop, participants will explore the role of Sikh truck drivers in the United States. They will learn about the significant contributions to the industry, challenges faced, and key beliefs of Sikhism that can impact experiences of Sikh American truckers. Participants will gain access to lesson plans and resources for teaching this content in the classroom.

This workshop is free for educators and will take place virtually. It will feature Savleen Singh, Senior Education Manager of the Sikh Coalition as a guest speaker. The workshop will be facilitated by Ashley Chu, AAEdu Curriculum Development Manager.
