Enter the Year of the Fire Horse with us. Join a vital community conversation exploring Chinese-American history and legacy. We are honored to host:

  • Gordon H. Chang, co-founder of Stanford’s Asian American Research Center. His most recent book was published in 2025, a collection of essays titled War, Race, and Culture: Journeys in TransPacific and Asian American Histories.
  • Rui Li, executive director of Flex Kids Culture, is dedicated to fostering international academic exchange and cross-cultural understanding. She is currently producing a documentary based on Sandy Lydon’s seminal local history Chinese Gold.
  • George Ow, Jr., a developer and philanthropist born in Santa Cruz’s last Chinatown, continues on his enduring quest to ensure Chinese Americans receive the credit and recognition they deserve while giving peace to the spirits of an unacknowledged history.

This gathering will honor lost histories, celebrate resilience, and discuss building a ‘Beloved Community’.

  • FREE and open to all. Sponsored contributions support RCNV programs.
  • This is a hybrid event: In-person and digital tickets are available
