Join us for a panel and reception to hear about Albert Lum's journey as an attorney and co-founder and first president of the Southern California Chinese Lawyers Asssociation.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Chinese truck farmers made invaluable agricultural contributions to inland Southern California and created alliances with non-Chinese landlords, but ultimately their visibility on the landscape made them continual targets of race-based exclusion.

A landscape archaeology analysis of Chinese-operated farms around the cities of Riverside and San Bernardino reveals that Chinese truck farming shaped the built environment in both the United States and China.

Professor Emerita Sue Fawn Chung will trace the history of the Chinese in Truckee, CA from arrival to the recent recognition of their accomplishments.
