Dreams of the West: A History of the Chinese in Oregon 1850-1950

Portland State University students will present a program on the cultural contributions of Chinese people in the Pacific Northwest. As members of a PSU Capstone class, students have researched the cultural life of the Chinese communities in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, B.C. in the exciting years of the first half of the 20th century.

The program will begin with students' presentations of their research and conclude with an "open mike" session to gather information from the audience.

Come to learn and share your knowledge about the history of how the Chinese opera, Chinese language, and other cultural traditions flourished in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of the 20th century.
