SUMMARY:Rural Chinatowns and Hidden Sites
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION open NOW! \nRegister at: \nhttps://1882foundation.org/event/rural-chinatowns-and-hidden-sites-conference/ \n \nThe 1882 Foundation and the Utah State Historic Preservation Office are cosponsoring a conference about U.S. Chinatowns in rural and remote places—and the haunting landscapes and streetscapes preserved in their place. Many are abandoned ghost towns; others are archeological sites with few aboveground remains. They present fascinating histories of boom and bust\, angst and exclusion\, and triumph and resilience—as well as enormous preservation questions and opportunities. \nJoin us in Salt Lake City for two days of paper presentations and one day of touring—either to the ghost town of Terrace\, Utah\, or to the Golden Spike National Historical Park.  For those interested in coming early (June 18)\, staff of the FamilySearch Library will provide an orientation to the library’s resources—with a focus on Asian resources. \nThe presentations will be far ranging\, covering Chinatowns from the northwest to the southeast U.S. that were spawned by railroad construction\, mining\, agriculture\, and more. Discussions will capture social issues\, including women and labor history; discrimination and violence; and the ongoing search for equality and acceptance. Innovative methods for presenting these histories to the public\, integrating vanished histories with typical preservation programs\, and exploring this past through film\, oral histories\, and archival collections will also be featured. \nPaper sessions will be held at the FamilySearch Library at 35 North West Temple Street. The conference hotel is nearby at the Salt Lake Plaza SureStay Hotel\, 122 West South Temple. For a discount\, mention this conference when you book a room at https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.53045.html?groupId=T85KH3P6.

SUMMARY:January 2024 Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us in ringing in the New Year as we reflect on the past\, celebrating the Chinese immigrant ancestors who paved the way for our American journey. In this continuation of “Three Coins\,” we delve into the tale of a young Chinese boy who\, armed with a blank journal\, a fortune teller’s scroll predicting his life’s path\, and an ardent desire to embrace American identity\, arrived in Oregon in 1877. \nDuring the 1880s in the Pacific Northwest\, Chinese communities faced expulsion from Tacoma\, Seattle\, Portland\, and Oregon City. However\, the story in the small town of Salem\, Oregon\, unfolded remarkably differently. In the midst of a social experiment\, figures like Hop Lee and George Sun\, alongside a handful of Chinese individuals\, crafted a unique narrative. \nLike our forebears\, these young Chinese immigrants confronted a world marked by exclusion through anti-Chinese laws and attitudes. Responding with resilience\, patience\, and humor\, they navigated these challenges\, forming friendships and achieving financial success. To realize his dream of putting down roots and starting a family\, Hop Lee must find the rarest of jewels—an American-born Chinese girl to form his own Willow Forest. \nWhile the Chinese eventually departed Salem by the 1930s\, the narrative of the Chinese and White communities in the city spanned four decades\, characterized by mutual respect and affection. This tale merits exploration\, particularly in light of today’s prevailing anti-Asian attitudes and rhetoric. \nThis book and presentation celebrate the immigrant spirit born from the diversity which is at the heart of our nation. \nCo-sponsored by: Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and The China Society of Southern California \nSpeaker Bio \nRussell Low is a physician with a passion for discovery and storytelling. His discoveries in the medical field have changed the way that his colleagues worldwide practice medicine and image disease. Discovery of his own roots began 30 years ago through the stories of his parents and their siblings. Growing up in Central California\, more American than Chinese\, his connection to Chinese culture and history was limited and incomplete. \nRussell frequently lectures on Chinese-American history\, and his family’s story has been featured on the History Channel\, National Public Radio\, the Voice of America\, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
