It was a whirlwind 24 hours. Friday evening I had a great time interacting with a young Asian American professional audience over early Chinese American experiences in the South at a National Asian American Assn of Professionals (NAAAP) meeting. The Atlanta event was sponsored by GAP, Inc. and held at the UPS Corporate Headquarters. I met many who felt they had many common experiences with those I had a generation earlier. On Sat evening,I had the privilege of giving the keynote address, "All I really needed to know, I learned in a Chinese laundry" at the Who's Who in Asian American Communities (in Georgia) held at the Omni Hotel with about 500 guests. The talk was well received. At the event, I met many high ranking diplomats, corporate leaders, community leaders, educators and it gave much visibility to SOUTHERN FRIED RICE, and the Chinese immigrant experience in the South!
