Inspired by a 100-year-old photograph in the belongings of his great Uncle Kim, author Russell Low will share his decades-long search to find the stories behind the photograph. Low will share the story of Ah Ying and illustrate Chinese American history from the building of the Transcontinental Railroad to the devastating effects of the Chinese Exclusion Act and subsequent slave trafficking of young Chinese women. A story rooted in a strong, resilient protagonist, this story encourages everyone to explore their roots and celebrates what makes us uniquely American. The Ripples of Ah Ying’s survival and her “Three Coins” shaped the journey of the next generations eventually arriving at the WWII generation in 1941. Two Chinese American brothers left the Oregon Hop Fields for the Battle Fields of the Pacific in WWII. One came home with a Silver Star and the other is missing. Their heroic actions and sacrifices in the Pacific War remind us of the courage, patriotism and diversity that forms our connections to the past and to each other. Join us to learn how, the Ripples of these Chinese American pioneers created scholarships for the CSUSM School of Nursing. Co-sponsors: College of Education, Health & Human Services and School of Nursing
