Civil Disobedience and Litigation: Rebranding Chinese Americans

How are the transcontinental railroad, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Henry V’s St. Crispin's Day Speech, and Florida’s orange industry all connected? 

 Find out on Sunday, March 19 at 2 pm in David Lei’s presentation on the courageous efforts of Chinese Americans to secure civil rights for all of us.
