C.A.C.A. Boston is working with the Phillips Brooks House Association to sponsor the 1st Annual Surging Waves Symposium and Book Talk by Martin Gold on Saturday, April 30, 2016 from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm.

The symposium brings together descendants of the various waves of Chinese immigrants to the United States, community leaders, academic scholars and elected officials to discussion issues of importance and how Chinese Americans from Tai Shan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China can work together to achieve the American Dream.
