Speaker Series: Safeguarding Chinese History
As opposition to colonialism grows, statues like Gassy Jack's have been forcibly removed, and institutions are re-examining their practices to include more diverse perspectives. How can we guarantee truthful and respectful storytelling? This session will examine how can we ensure the empowerment of Chinese Canadian history in British Columbia.
