I had the pleasure of joining John McCormick in a discussion of his new book "Chinese in Napa Valley- The Forgotten Community that Built Wine Country". John and I met when he was doing research for his book and discovered this blog. He was excited to find Jue Joe's oral history of his time as a vineyard worker in the Napa Valley and has included Jue Joe's story in his book as well as used Jue Joe's life story to illustrate various larger themes throughout his book . Here is the You tube video of John and I discussing his book and Jue Joe's life story at the Napa County Historical society event on January 19th, 2023. The presentation was live with some 70+ folks in attendance as well as 30 more folks who attended on zoom.
