Excellent program. Thank you. My dad's side of the family is from the Mississippi Delta. They had a grocery store in Greenville that catered to black residents in the area during the first half of the 1900s.
Thanks for doing this interview. I found this very intetesting. American history encompasses so much more than blacks and whites and european settlement. The Chinese have their roots here as well. I hope more Americans see this and appreciate this. Thanks for doing this!
Absolutely, Michael! America is truly a melting pot of so many different cultures, ideas and beliefs. People are so incredible and it is important to shed light on communities, such as the Mississippi Delta Chinese. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch this interview!
For more information about this, please check out this video, th-cam.com/video/Mh_xtHXl_dI/w-d-xo.html, we did which zeroed in on a couple from the Miss. Delta Region! They cook up awesome Chinese/southern food - blending the two cultures!
@@mareerogers1114 Whatever that is, it doesn't take away from the contributions the Chinese made in their respective areas and how Blacks and Whites benefitted from them in American history.
The Mississippi Chinese by: James W. Loewen is a great book. This interview is problematic because it does not tells why the Chinese were there and the diaspora comment should've never been made. The host should also know blacks for for Immigration as well.. This scholarly, carefully researched book studies one of the most overlooked minority groups in Americathe Chinese of the Mississippi Delta. During Reconstruction, white plantation owners imported Chinese sharecroppers in the hope of replacing their black laborers. In the beginning they were classed with blacks.

Susie King Taylor wrote about them in her book. Chinese have been complicit in racism of ADOS by Asians.
