Crossing East Preview Event - San Francisco, KQED, May 2nd


On May 2nd, 2006, producers, scholars, and members of the public met at KQED studios in San Francisco for a listening session with Crossing East. KQED Education Network and the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation co-sponsored the event.

Following a reception, producers Dmae Roberts, Sara Caswell Kolbet, Rainjita Yang-Geesler, Robynn Takayama, Stephanie Loleng and Reese Erlich presented excerpts from one of their produced pieces. Scholars Judy Yung and Bill Hing, with Nguyen Qui Duc, host of KQED's Pacific Time, added historical context to the excerpts, and Editor Catherine Stifter was also on hand.

The event was well attended in the beautiful KQED atrium. The Crowd
