About 40 adults, who grew up as children of immigrants in the United States are featured in a new book entitled PROUD AMERICANS: GROWING UP AS CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS. The book is a collection of inspirational stories about people’s joys and struggles while coming of age in the United States.

Included are Hollywood stars, high-profile business and media people, award-winning athletes, members of the President’s cabinet, elected officials and those whose names may not be recognizable but whose stories are filled with wisdom and inspiration.

Children of immigrants are different. They are their parents’ bridge to American ways, their translators, their support system, and their hope for a more promising future. They have fought to live independent lives while being true to their families’ roots and expectations.

The stories in PROUD AMERICANS: GROWING UP AS CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS are based on research and extensive interviews with people who live across the United States and whose family roots stretch around the globe. During each personally conducted interview, the subjects tap into their memories about growing up in America and how being children of immigrants has affected their lives.

This event is FREE and everyone is invited.

Dr. William Lee
Sunday, October 16 at 7 p.m.

A leader in the Sacramento community, and indeed throughout the nation, Dr. William H. Lee, founder and publisher of THE OBSERVER Newspapers, continues to exceed audiences’ expectations in providing high quality publications and media services for African American audiences in the markets served by THE OBSERVER.

Dr. Lee’s publications, the weekly OBSERVER newspaper as well as many of THE OBSERVER’S special editions, are recognized as the most stylish and educational publications published anywhere. THE OBSERVER, recognized as “The Most Honored Black Newspaper in America,” has received the coveted John B. Russwurm Trophy, the highest award in Black journalism, six times — more than any other Black newspaper in the nation.

Of his many, many community service roles, Dr. Lee says his greatest joy has come from serving as chair of the statewide Governor-appointed Dr. Martin Luther King Commission, which helped to lead California to ultimately establishing the statewide MLK holiday.

The Sacramento Living Library, curated by Time Tested Books' Peter Keat and hosted by Midtown Monthly Editor Tim Foster, is a new addition to the River City's cultural scene, with talks, lectures and discussions featuring some of Sacramento's best and brightest.
