Breaking Barriers: The Legacy of March Fong Eu

CAM invites you for an evening dedicated to the extraordinary life and legacy of March Fong Eu (1922-2017) on Thursday, May 29th at 6:30 PM. This is a hybrid event that will be hosted both in-person at the historic Pico House (424 N. Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90012) and online via Zoom.

March Fong Eu was the first woman and first Asian American elected to Secretary of State in California. In that position, she modernized voting systems, championed equal rights, and left behind an enduring legacy that continues to inspire future generations. RSVP at camla.org/marchfongeu today.

This event will feature guest speakers and friends, including Pattie Fong, Judge Linda Sun, and author Tim Vandehey. This event also marks the release of her highly anticipated biography, The March Fong Eu Story: An Authorized Biography of an Unauthorized Woman, co-written by author Tim Vandehey and Secretary of State Communications Manager Caren Daniels-Meade. This compelling biography chronicles her journey as a trailblazer, a groundbreaking advocate, a pioneer, and a political icon.

Copies of the books will also be available to buy, in-person, at the event.
