This is an outstanding presentation by historian Brian Dillon, recorded on August 14, 2021.
It offers the historical context for the Chinese migration from Guangdong to the Kingdom, and later the Territory, of Hawaii. This directly informs our understanding of Chock Chin’s bold move to the Big Island at the young age of 18. It also provides insight into the warm welcome the Chinese received in Hawaii, as compared with the hostility and fear they encountered in California.
