Debbie Chinn: Author Talk and Book Signing at the Clarke Historical Museum
Monday, August 22, 2022 2-4p.m.
Clarke Historical Museum
Free presentation and book signing by
author Debbie Chinn, at the Clarke Historical Museum, Eureka, CA, on Monday,
Aug. 22, from 2-4 p.m. Chinn will talk about her recent book, Dancing in
Their Light: A Daughter's Unfinished Memoir,
which tells the story
of “a proud daughter” of immigrant
parents, growing up and performing in her family’s renowned Polynesian
nightclub, and the legacy of her family’s many contributions to the American cultural
and international scientific landscape – from moo shu pork to NASA’s ‘vomit
comet.’
Chinn has had a “distinguished 30 year career as an arts activist, a non-profit consultant, and CEO … championing equity and inclusion.” Initially intending to document her family’s remarkable journey as immigrants in New York, with the renewed rise in anti-immigrant and anti-Asian vitriol, Chinn felt it was especially timely to share what one family could do to assimilate, make significant contributions, and bridge themselves to the larger American culture in an era when the Chinese were not welcome.
