The Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation will be hosting an evening with San Francisco State University professor Charles Egan as we discuss his new book Voices of Angel Island: Inscriptions and Immigrant Poetry, 1910-1945.
For the past twenty years, Dr. Egan has been instrumental in researching and translating the historic poetry of Angel Island. In his latest book, he provides insight into many inscriptions left behind by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and South Asian immigrants, including those made by prisoners of war and interned Japanese Americans during World War II.
