西雅图华人社团10月25日办讲座：考古揭开1885年石泉镇华人矿工被屠往事
10月25日中午12时至下午2时，美籍华人公民联盟西雅图分会将在默瑟岛的斯特鲁姆犹太社区中心举办讲座，主题是石泉镇华人区的考古与1885年华人大屠杀。1885年，怀俄明领地石泉镇爆发排华暴力，至少28名华人矿工遇难，镇上的华人区被捣毁，这是美国历史上最严重的排华暴力事件之一。一个多世纪后，考古发掘正在把这段几乎被遗忘的历史重新带回公众视野。主讲人是格林内尔学院人类学助理教授、历史考古学家 Laura Ng 博士，她将结合出土文物、历史档案与社区口述，讲述石泉镇与埃文斯顿华人区华人移民的日常生活与遭遇，并介绍近年来的纪念努力，包括国会议员赵美心提出的承认这段历史的国会决议。讲座免费参加，需提前登记。主办方表示，讲座面向所有对华裔美国人历史、移民史与社会公正感兴趣的听众。对西雅图华人家庭而言，这也是一次带孩子认识华人先辈历史的机会。

Seattle Chinese Community Lecture on October 25: Archaeology Revisits the 1885 Rock Springs Massacre of Chinese Miners
From noon to 2 p.m. on October 25, the Seattle chapter of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance held a lecture at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island on the archaeology of Rock Springs Chinatown and the 1885 Chinese massacre. In 1885, anti-Chinese violence erupted in Rock Springs, Wyoming Territory, killing at least 28 Chinese miners and destroying the town's Chinatown, in one of the deadliest acts of anti-Chinese violence in U.S. history. More than a century later, archaeological work is bringing this nearly forgotten history back into public view. The speaker, Dr. Laura Ng, a historical archaeologist and assistant professor of anthropology at Grinnell College, drew on excavated artifacts, historical records and community stories to describe the everyday lives and experiences of Chinese immigrants in the Rock Springs and Evanston Chinatowns, and introduced recent commemoration efforts, including a congressional resolution introduced by Representative Judy Chu recognizing the massacre. The lecture was free with advance registration, and organizers welcomed anyone interested in Chinese American history, immigration history or social justice. For Chinese families in Seattle, it was also a chance to introduce children to the history of early Chinese pioneers.
