May 4, 2022 <br /> Santa Ana City Council Members and Mayor, <br /> I have been a resident of Santa Ana for over 20 years. I am Chinese American and teach the <br /> People's History of Orange County every summer in SAUSD. This program was honored by the <br /> City of Santa Ana in the summer of 2019. In this program we discuss the burning down of <br /> Chinatown in 1906 in Santa Ana due to racism and white supremacy. I heard that there will be <br /> an apology issued by the City. I am very happy to hear about this. <br /> Can I ask if there will be a plaque or historical marker with the text on the location where <br /> Chinatown used to be? Also, can I ask who initiated this resolution? I would like to reach out <br /> and congratulate them. Also, can you tell me the date that this apology will be issued, I would <br /> like to invite all the students who have participated in our program over the years to be there. I <br /> would also like to invite the Heritage Museum and all the teachers involved in this program <br /> would also like to be present. As this is a momentous occasion. It is the first step in <br /> reconciliation with the past wrongs. <br /> Some of you already know me as Jose Solorio's ex-wife. He always had the intention to do <br /> something like this. I'm glad it is finally being done. <br /> Feel free to contact me at Iinnlee100(a)amail.com. I hope to hear from one or some of you <br /> soon. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Linn Lee <br />
