This event is part of the 2022-23 Human Rights and the Museum Series, a collaboration between the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and the Museum and Gallery Studies Program in the Art and Design Department at Queensborough Community College (QCC).
Located outside of the Bernalillo County Courthouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico stands View from Gold Mountain, a monument commemorating Territory of N.M. vs. Yee Hun, the 1883 lawsuit that brought about a change in the law allowing Chinese people, and then later non-Christians, to testify in court. Artists Cheryll Leo-Gwin and Stewart Wong will discuss the making of this monument and its significance as a landmark court case enshrining civil rights for Asian Americans.
