“A Chinese American Giant: The Y.C. Hong Story”

Join us for a screening of the documentary film, “A Chinese American Giant: The Y.C. Hong Story” followed by an insightful panel discussion.

About this Event

Film director Rick Quan joins the panel discussion to discuss the significance of Y.C. Hong's contribution to American society. Panelists include son of Y.C. Hong, Nowland Hong, community historian, Eugene Moy and curator of the Pacific Rim Collection at The Huntington Library, Li Wei Yang. Panelists will discuss Hong’s life and legacy as one of the first Chinese American lawyers in the U.S. whose advocacy helped unite thousands of Chinese families during the period of the Chinese Exclusion Act.

You can screen the documentary from the comfort of your home; all registrants will receive a link to view the documentary a week before the event. We will reconvene on April 20 for the discussion at 5pm.
