Join
us on December 10 at 1:00 pm as we air an award-winning documentary by director
Min Zhou about 13 Chinese workers who participated in the construction of the
Transcontinental Railroad and the discovery of their remains in Carlin, Nevada,
in 1996. After more than two decades of archaeological excavations, research,
and exhibition, it was through the efforts of the Carlin community – both
private citizens and city government – that their remains were finally reburied
in the Carlin City Cemetery on July 3rd, 2018.
A panel discussion will follow the documentary. It will include director Min Zhou, Director of the California State Railroad Museum Ty Smith, and historian Phil Sexton.
This
program is facilitated through a partnership between the US China Railroad
Friendship Association and the Sacramento Room.
