Chinese in the Mississippi Delta
|
This unit explores the history of Chinese in the Mississippi Delta who immigrated over 150 years ago to work on sugarcane and cotton plantations, replacing Black labor in the wake of the emancipation of slavery. With a variety of interactive activities and using content from the book, Sugar by Jewell Parker Rhodes, students will make historical connections between these stories and the real-life legacies of Chinese immigrants that built communities across the Mississippi Delta.
