Health impacts of racism on B.C.'s Chinese community, today and yesterday

| March 31, 2011

Show Notes:

In this show, we look at the fight against the gentrification of Vancouver's Chinatown and talk to Sid Chow Tan about the organizing going on among Chinatown residents to preserve their right to their own neighbourhood. We also talk to Jim Wong Chu about the case of the D'Arcy Island leper colony off the coast of Vancouver Island, where sufferers of leprosy, almost all of whom were Chinese men, were imprisoned and left to die from 1891 to 1924. Music by Marvin Gaye and the No Luck Club.
