APIDC 12th Annual Gala
The ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) is indeed a powerful symbol of resilience in Hawaii. This evergreen tree is native to the Hawaiian Islands and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, being one of the first plants to colonize and flourish on fresh lava flows.
APIDC was created in 1999 as an informal coalition of individuals, community-based organizations, government agencies, parent organizations, and corporate executives who shared a common vision of wanting to address the specific needs of APIs with disabilities. Our first goal was to convene a two day statewide conference of consumers, families, and representatives from within and outside the API community to meet, share resources, identify information and service gaps, and formulate strategies on formulating solutions. Among the conference highlights was a panel featuring APIs with disabilities who were employed in various private and public positions, including elected officials and corporate executives. The conference culminated in a resolution to convene future conferences. APDIC has since sponsored statewide conferences in Oakland, Orange County, and Long Beach.

Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90012) for a special, colorized screening of The Toll of the Sea (1922). The film, directed by Chester M. Franklin and produced by Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation, features Anna May Wong at just 17 years old in her first leading role. Despite being a silent film, Wong’s emotive and expressive nature has led many to consider The Toll of the Sea as her breakout role in the film industry.
Featured alongside the film screening will be an exclusive commentary and a post-screening discussion courtesy of Anna Wong, niece of Hollywood star Anna May Wong, and Katie Gee Salisbury, author of Not Your China Doll.
RSVP today to join us in watching Anna May Wong shine in her first leading role and explore her life and enduring legacy through insightful conversations with experts on the iconic figure.
About the Guest Speakers:
Anna Wong grew up mere miles from Hollywood, where her aunt, iconic film star Anna May Wong, made an unforgettable mark on cinematic history. Inspired by the cultural impact and inclusiveness that her namesake strove to achieve, Anna has been dedicated to raising awareness of Asian Americans issues and advancing the cause of equality. She also serves on the board of directors for the Friends of the Chinese American Museum.
Katie Gee Salisbury is a fifth-generation Chinese American writer and photographer based in Brooklyn whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Believer, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, and more. She authors Half Caste Woman, a newsletter dedicated to sharing research and ruminations about Anna May Wong, and, in 2024, released her debut biography Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong.
*Be sure to visit Unmasking Anna May Wong, CAM’s latest exhibition that honors film legend Anna May Wong. Currently on view until April 27th, 2025, the exhibit showcases Wong as a trailblazer that fought racism, discrimination, and stereotyping in the film industry. The exhibit features a variety of objects, ranging from Wong’s personal effects to memorabilia from her films. Learn more about who Anna May Wong was behind the silver screen -- from her childhood in LA Chinatown, to her iconic fashion sense, and her social activism outside of Hollywood.
