NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture program- Creating Communities in California: Chinese American Experiences @NEHgov@UCDHistProject (Locke: the first California town built by Chinese immigrants)
Arrival into Angel Island. Our NEH workshop was treated to an amazing tour led by California State Park ranger Casey, and Angel Island Foundation executive director Ed.
For teachers planning for fall: What an extraordinary array of sources and lessons the January 6 Committee is providing - about the Constitution, rule of law, an institution that actually works, and about truth, facts, and the dark, authoritarian hearts of some Americans.
A taste of the (Chinese American!) Old West with a visit to Locke, CA, a town founded by Chinese immigrants to sell wares and provide entertainment to laborers in the Sacramento-area delta
Kicked off our NEH institute focused on Chinese American history in California today. Thank you to Dr. Robyn Rodriguez and the @UCDHistProject for leading this effort! Inspiring to meet teachers from all over the country interested in Asian American Studies.

#Juneteenth gives us all “a moment each year not only to mark progress, but to confront the influence historical harms have on our current reality.” This partnership between @voxdotcom and @CapitalBNews examining the holiday is certainly worth your time. https://t.co/OIsW18AMtO
