In honor of Asian
American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Standing in Solidarity focuses on the
Asian American experience.
The event includes a screening of the award-winning documentary Far East Deep South,
the PSEG True Diversity
Film selection, about a Chinese American family’s search for
their roots and the discovery of an immigrant community in the South in
the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
Also revealed in the film is how the Chinese American settlers developed
a symbiotic relationship with their Black neighbors during the Jim Crow
era and bridged racial and ethnic divides in tumultuous times.
