From California to New York, the same false account travels.

‘Hidden Voices: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in United States History’ is meant to teach the hidden history and the pioneers of Asian Americans in the United States, Dosan Ahn Chang-ho among them. Like many others, it promotes re-written history.

Its source is ‘Pachappa Camp: The First Koreatown’, the book that laid the foundation of the false Riverside narrative.
