Los Altos History Museum rolls out a series of programs scheduled for the third Thursday of every month alternating between panel discussions related to the newly opened Permanent Exhibition and changing exhibits, and block parties related to the history of neighborhoods. Held in the Museum's upstairs Geschke Gallery, the inaugural program, "Hidden Communities: Chinese and Latino Agricultural Workers in the Bay Area," is slated for Thursday, May 18 from 5:30-7pm.
The program will delve into the relationship between Chinese and Latino agricultural workers historically and today. In a panel discussion, Dr. Perlita Dicochea, Chair of the Museum's Diversity Advisory Committee, will moderate a conversation with fellow advisory members Connie Young Yu and Dr. Alexandro Jara on the history of these agricultural communities in the Bay Area. Half Moon Bay's Vice Mayor Joaquin Jimenez will share insights in wake of the tragic January 2023 shootings that occurred on two mushroom farms, where seven people were shot and killed and an eighth critically injured.
A wine and hors d'oeuvres reception will be held following the panel discussion. Cost to attend the program is $10; free to Museum members. Registration is required at losaltoshistory.org/ThurSeries1.
