The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Chinese paper sons, Japanese picture brides, Korean refugee students, South Asian political activists, Russian and Jewish refugees, Mexican families, Filipino workers, and many others passed through San Francisco's Angel Island immigration station between 1910 and 1940. Two renowned scholars of Asian American history, Erika Lee and Judy Yung, speak about new research and oral histories that inform their new book, Angel Island: Immigrant Gateway to America (Oxford University Press). Angel Island is destined to be a classic. "With this comprehensive history, Angel Island may now stand alongside Ellis Island as the other iconic gateway to America. Lee and Yung give a thorough and humane look at the immigrants from surprisingly diverse origins who encountered an America both welcoming and unwelcoming on the Pacific coast." – Mae M. Ngai. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206)624-6600, Town Hall Seattle at (206)652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
