Tuesday, September 11, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Room 225, 2nd Floor
William Poy Lee, Author of The Eighth Promise

Join us for a reading, discussion and reception with author William Poy Lee. The writer of The Eighth Promise: An American Son's Tribute to His Toisanese Mother, Lee gives us a rare view of the Chinese-American experience from a mother-son perspective. When political rivalries, murder, and racism ensnare a Chinatown family, a mother reaches back to ancient traditions, and a promise she once made, to save her sons. Book signing follows this program. This event is hosted by the General Collections Department and co-sponsored by the Friends of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, MOSIAC Cross Cultural Center, and the Chinese Historical & Cultural Project. For information call (408) 808-2397.
