SUMMARY:Podcast: Iron Horse Road: A Tale from Gold Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Premiers on Wednesday\, July 19th\, 2023 \n \nIron Horse Road recounts one of the great neglected epics of American history. 20\,000 Chinese laborers tunneled through granite mountains\, dangled over cliffs\, and dragged entire trains over alpine summits where other Americans feared to tread. The prosperity of the oncoming gilded age was founded on their blood\, sweat and grit\, but their story has long been minimized and forgotten. \nEqual parts history and travelogue\, Iron Horse Road uses binaural 3D audio to transport the listener to deep canyons\, echoing caverns and windswept peaks–a world where adventure is always around the corner\, and the past is carved in blood and stone. \nStay tuned for the Wednesday July 19th\, 2023 release on Apple Podcasts\, Spotify\, Google Podcasts\, Amazon Music\, Overcast\, RSS Feed. You can also listen here at https://blood-on-gold-mountain.captivate.fm/.

SUMMARY:Chinese Lives in Wyoming - An Overview of Immigrant Lives in Wyoming from 1868 to 1937
DESCRIPTION:Chinese immigrants from Toishan (Taishan) and elsewhere in Guangdong Province contributed much to the development of transportation\, merchandising\, and mining in southwestern Wyoming. Initially it was thought that these immigrants only worked on the railroad in 1869\, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that in that year men from southern China operated laundries and entered the coal industry. The lives and contributions of the men and women from southern China will be discussed as will their overcoming being forcibly removed from Almy coal mines on September 2nd 1885. Significantly\, Chinese grit and tenacity led them to persevere in reforming their communities after their removal from Almy and the attack on Chinatown in Rock Springs on the same day. These two tragic events cannot be overlooked\, but the ability of the immigrants to overcome the tragedy and form new communities in Wyoming that endured for decades will be a point of focus. \nDudley Gardner is Professor Emeritus at Western Wyoming Community College (WWCC) and Principal Investigator for the Western Archaeological and Anthropological Research Institute (WAARI) in Rock Springs\, Wyoming. He received his B.A. in English from Lee College\, his M.A. in history from Colorado State University\, and his Ph.D. in History from University of  New Mexico.

SUMMARY:From China to Chinatown: My Po Po’s Journey by Hailey Soh
DESCRIPTION:From China to Chinatown: My Po Po’s Journey is a documentary by Hailey Soh that tells the stories of people who immigrated to Los Angeles Chinatown. Hailey created this documentary in the hopes that a public audience might learn more about the history of Los Angeles Chinatown. As the immigrant population in Chinatown grows older\, she wanted to help preserve the histories of those who helped build Los Angeles into the city it is today. She realizes that there are many untold immigrant stories and her documentary is only a snippet of the bigger picture. \nHailey’s documentary follows her grandma\, her Po Po\, Koon Tai Lee Kung\, along her journey from Guangzhou\, China to Chinatown\, Los Angeles. It also includes interviews from her grandmother’s daughter Helena and neighbor Chui King Joe which tell of the community that Chinatown provided for Chinese Immigrants. \nBorn and raised in Pasadena\, California\, Hailey Soh is a junior attending Blair High School and lives with her parents and younger sister. Hailey is active member of the student body and is involved in various clubs such as serving on the Associated Student Body as Junior Treasurer\, National Honors Society\, Girls’ Tennis Team\, and she even started her own club – The Broadcasting Club which creates weekly videos to inform students about school-related events and activities. In her free time\, Hailey likes to listen to music and play instruments such as the piano and the guitar\, and she also enjoys watching her favorite K-dramas on Netflix. She wants to pursue a future where she can continuously learn new things and encounter new experiences.

SUMMARY:Secrets to Longevity by Dr. David Lowe

They also co-produce the annual WHOLE Conference sponsored by the Camarillo SDA Church. \n
