Join Isabella as they explore the Hidden History of Santa Cruz's Chinatown. The Monterey Bay Area once had a thriving Chinese immigrant population, which is not evident from the current demographic makeup of Santa Cruz County. In the 19th century, these communities experienced xenophobic discrimination from the surrounding community that pushed them to the outskirts of the community. Recently, the town of Santa Cruz erected a memorial bridge along the San Lorenzo River pedestrian path to mark where Santa Cruz's last Chinatown once stood. Dive into this hidden history of Santa Cruz this week on Slugcast!
