Inspired by a 100-year old photograph in the belongings of his great Uncle Kim, author
Russell Low will share his decades-long search to find the stories behind the image.
Low will share the story of Ah Ying, and illustrate Chinese American history from
the building of the Transcontinental Railroad to the devastating effects of the Chinese
Exclusion Act and subsequent slave trafficking of young Chinese women. A story rooted
in a strong, resilient protagonist, the story encourages everyone to explore their
roots and celebrates what makes us uniquely American.
