Nokes details the dedication ceremony and the efforts of a citizens group to create an exhibit at the Lewis-Clark Center for Arts & History to honor those victims and Chinese history, placing both memorialization efforts within the context of growing — and long overdue — public recognition of the significance of Chinese in regional history. |
