About this listen

 What happens when fear, hate, unchecked power, and racism collide? In 1871 Los Angeles, it led to one of the deadliest racially motivated massacres in U.S. history. A mob of 500 stormed Chinatown, lynched 19 Chinese immigrants, and left the community devastated—all fueled by anti-immigrant propaganda and systemic racism. But here’s the kicker: history kept the receipts, and those same patterns of scapegoating and violence are still happening today.

As Chinese New Year approaches—a celebration of resilience, renewal, and hope—we’ll uncover the tragedy of the 1871 Chinese Massacre, connect it to modern immigration policies, and ask why these historical echoes are still screaming in 2025.

👀 Spoiler alert: this episode is heavy, but it’s the kind of story we can’t afford to forget.
