Journey into the overlooked immigrant histories that shaped the East Bay. First, Barnali Ghosh and Anirvan Chatterjee share stories from their Berkeley South Asian Radical History walking tour—these narratives you won’t find in textbooks. Then, uncover the remarkable life of Lew Hing, who became one of Oakland’s most influential business leaders during a time of intense anti-Chinese laws.
This series explores stories of culture, politics and nature from Oakland, Berkeley and other towns throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
