Register Here
What did it mean to be Chinese in Black spaces during segregation? Director Crystal Kwok digs into how her grandmother’s family navigated life as grocery store owners in a black Augusta, Georgia neighborhood. The film weaves personal family stories with memories from the larger Chinese and Black communities, examining both anti-black racism and the deeply rooted structures of white supremacy and Chinese patriarchy.
Q&A to follow screening, feature Crystal Kwok (Director), Jilene Chua (Assistant Professor of History), and Paula Austin (Associate Professor of History and African American and Black Diaspora Studies).
