SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join CHSA for a panel presentation and discussion on the Cold War repression on the Mun Ching (Chinese American Democratic Youth League).
This panel talk will be about the McCarthy-Cold War repression during the 1950s and 1960s on the Mun Ching, a San Francisco Chinatown based organization also known as the Chinese American Democratic Youth League. Panelists Jean and William Dere grew up in San Francisco Chinatown, and their parents were active in the Mun Ching, supporters of the newly established People's Republic of China. Their father, Kai Dere, was a WWII US Army veteran who was persecuted by the U.S. government during the Cold War, leading to a loss of U.S. citizenship. Jean and William will discuss the effects of the persecution during this period of the Red Scare on their family and other Mun Ching members. Judge Lillian Sing will discuss the ramifications of the Mun Ching cases and their significance to the political and social climate of today.
