Updated Location; Rainier Arts Center. Live simulcast link.
In a Yellow Tone is a student-produced comic novella created in honor of the Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino American Congressional Gold Medalists. It tells the story of Cyman Wong and his classmate, Collette Chang, who discover an old trunk with letters, photographs, and mementos from the World War Two era while conducting research for a class assignment. Reading the letters, Cyman and Collette come to understand how the Japanese invasion of Guangzhou/Canton, the internment of Japanese Americans, and the end of the War impacted Cyman’s great-uncle and great-grandfather, as well as Seattle’s Chinatown International District. They also learn the joy of first love, the meaning of valor, and the importance of heritage.
A book premier for In A Yellow Tone happens August 8 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Rainier Arts Center, 3515 S Alaska St, Seattle, WA 98118.
