Join the Chinese American Museum and Miss Rita fro

Join the Chinese American Museum and Miss Rita from the Los Angeles Public Library’s Chinatown branch for this month’s Kids Storytime on Thursday, January 11th at 4pm PST. Miss Rita will be reading “This is Not My Home” by Vivienne Chang and Eugenia Yoh.

This book is suitable for ages 4-8, though we welcome children of all ages with parental supervision.

This program is hosted virtually on Zoom. Register today by following the link in bio!

“Kids Storytime” is hosted in partnership with the Chinatown Branch Library with stories read by Children’s Librarian Rita Law.

About the book:

Co-written and illustrated by Vivienne Chang and Eugenia Yoh, “This is Not My Home” is about a fourth grader named Lily who immigrates from the United States to the Taiwan to care for her grandmother. Lily is scared and upset to leave behind her life and friends. In Taiwan, school is difficult for her, and she feels sad. However, through friendship, family, and love, she begins to see that the United States and Taiwan can both be home for her. The book features a unique cartoon illustration style that captures Lily’s emotions.

About the authors:

“This is Not My Home” is the first children’s book from authors Vivienne Cheng and Eugenia Yoh. The writing and illustrating duo met at Washington University. Eugenia studied Communication Design and works for Chronicle Books, and Vivienne studies Economics. They hope their books tell relatable stories through humor.

The Chinese American Museum will hold a two-day symposium to examine the Chinese Massacre of 1871, the result of mob violence that left 18 dead. The symposium will take place on Saturday, Dec. 9, and Sunday, Dec. 10, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Pico House. The symposium will also be streamed online.

Special guest speakers will delve deeper into the historical implications of the tragedy to reckon with our racial past and help drive positive social change in the future.

On October 24, 1871, over 500 Los Angeles residents entered Chinatown, hunted down, and killed as many Chinese immigrants as they could find. Considered to be one of the bloodiest massacres against Asians in United States history, the Chinese Massacre of 1871 was the culmination of growing anti-Chinese sentiment, which led to racially motivated violence.

華美博物館將舉辦為期兩天的研討會，回顧 1871 年華埠大屠殺造成 18 人死亡之歷史。研討會將於12月9日（星期六）和10日（星期日）上午10時30分至下午2時30分在Pico House舉行。研討會也將在網路上進行直播。

特邀演講嘉賓將更深入地探討這場悲劇的歷史影響，以反思我們的種族歷史，並推動未來積極的社會變革。

1871 年 10 月 24 日，500 多名洛杉磯居民闖入華埠，殺害了 18 名華裔男子。1871 年的華埠大屠殺被認為是美國針對亞裔最血腥的屠殺之一，是日益高漲的反華情緒的頂峰，導致了種族動機的暴力。
