Our Community Reads - Speaker Series: Evergreen Cemetery and the Chinese of Santa Cruz
In the midst of California's Chinese Must Go movement, why did Santa Cruz's Chinese view Evergreen Cemetery as symbolic of their commitment to their sacred traditions? And what motivated prominent pioneer men and women to stand up for the Chinese? Professor Traci Bliss -whose family donated the land -shares stories of resilience and humanity from her forthcoming book Evergreen Cemetery of Santa Cruz.
