Welcome to Season 3, Episode 46. Do you think you know the story of the Chinese during the California Gold Rush? Even if you think you do, we guarantee that there are some stories and pieces of the history that are lesser known. So today we talk about that era in a little more depth. Other than sharing the origin of the California Gold Rush, we talk about the timeline of Gold Rush events, the arrival of the Chinese, their mining practices, the discrimination they faced, and how they achieved some modicum of success. The arrival of Chinese during the Gold Rush helped develop the land and physical and service infrastructure in California. We begin the episode with some current events and celebrate Corbin Carroll, Brandon Sakbun, and Nina Ahmad.
