Sponsored by the Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Human Rights Orange County is more than images on orange crate labels, high-profile amusement parks, or beaches. It is a unique site of agricultural and suburban history, political conservatism in a liberal state, and more diversity and discordance than is portrayed in pop culture. We will discuss who gets to claim Orange County’s image, exposing the extraordinary stories embedded in the ordinary neighborhoods that surround and include Soka University. SPEAKERS: from the book A People’s Guide to Orange County
