Event Details
As part of the County of Ventura’s 150th Anniversary event series join us on a fascinating journey through time as we explore the rich tapestry of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in Ventura County!
From their early settlement in the late 19th century, to their vibrant presence throughout the 20th century, discover how these resilient communities thrived amidst challenges and adversities.
Through gripping tales of establishing businesses, nurturing strong family ties, and fostering a close-knit community, we’ll delve into the remarkable lives and stories that shaped their legacy. From religious spaces to vibrant worship centers, witness the incredible spirit of togetherness and resilience that defined their experiences.
Dr. Lily Anne Welty Tamai will lead us in the talk, also brought to us by the Ventura County JACL
The event will be held on Wednesday, October 25, at 5pm at CSUCI 1 University Drive, Camarillo in the Broome Library Room 1360. Free with RSVP
