If you are not a member yet, now is the time to join our community and receive the great benefits of membership. We are a group of people seeking truth, insight and wisdom about the issues we face as individuals and as a society. Please join! You can become a monthly sustaining member for just $10 a month.
Join us in-person or on Zoom when we discuss the 2024 silver medal winner in non-fiction, Daughter of the Dragon: Anna May Wong's Rendezvous with American History, with author Yunte Huang. This entertaining and informative look at one of America's first silver screen celebrities tells of Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong's trials with what American filmgoers and the film industry wanted to see on screen—that was not necessarily a beautiful Asian woman co-starring with non-Asian men. This book takes us back to a time of misogyny and racism that was all too accepted.
This program will be held in Zoom; registrants will receive a link to the Zoom program.
This program has 2 types of tickets available: in-person and online-only. You must pre-register to receive a link to the live-stream Zoom event.
