Scripps music professor Hao Huang and 5C alumni have been working on a podcast called "Blood on Gold Mountain" based on stories of the Chinese affected by the 1871 LA Chinatown massacre.

On October 24, 1871, a dispute between two Chinese rivals over a young woman called Yut-Ho resulted in the accidental shooting of a white man. Fueled by the incident and anti-Chinese sentiment, a mob of 500 locals shot, hung, and stabbed 18 Chinese residents. This little-known chapter of history finds parallels to anti-Asian American attacks that are taking place today.

The first episode will be released on Wednesday, March 24, with future episodes released every other Wednesday at https://blood-on-gold-mountain.captivate.fm/ and on iTunes / Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and TuneIn.
