About this webinar
A little-known part of American history is the Asian immigrants who settled in the South in the 1800s and 1900s.

Grant.always presents interesting topics
I missed the first 20 minutes of the webinar, but it was so interesting, I would love to follow up and check out some of the information mentioned by Grant. I am a Chinese lady living in Toronto, Canada, my father was born in China, and my Mother was born in British Guiana South America. I have researching my Chinese Roots and any information on Chinese is of interest to me. I learned so much from Grant, did not know that the Chinese were persecuted like the Blacks in Mississippi, would definitely like to know more
Very interesting topic!
