Preferential seating given to first 20 individuals who present their TAP cards at the Metro Art info table.\n  \nAn unforgettable night of captivating stories and soul-stirring melodies with Rhiannon Giddens\, Lisa See\, and members of the Silkroad Ensemble. \nThe forthcoming American Railroad tour—just one component of the multi-year American Railroad initiative\, Silkroad’s most ambitious project to date—comprises stops in locations with significant connections to the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad.

The evening includes musical performances by Silkroad Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens\, Silkroad artists Wu Man and Haruka Fujii\, and guest artist Pura Fé\, as well as a discussion about the railroad\, the communities who built it\, and the people who were displaced and most affected by it. \nJoining Silkroad for the conversational portion of the event is bestselling author Lisa See\, whose great-great-grandfather worked on the Railroad in the mid-1800s\, as described in See’s memoir On Gold Mountain. See grew up in and currently lives in Los Angeles; her great-grandfather\, Fong See\, overcame obstacles at every step to become the godfather of the city’s Chinatown neighborhood and the patriarch of a sprawling family. Her books have been celebrated for their authentic\, deeply researched\, lyrical stories about Chinese characters and cultures. Images from the Lisa See Collection\, The Huntington\, San Marino\, CA are also on view as part of the exhibition\, Where You Stand: Chinatown 1880 to 1939 (你所處的位置: 唐人街 1880 年至 1939 年) in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Rhiannon Giddens\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pura Fé\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Haruka Fujii\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Wu Man\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Lisa See\n				\n		\n\nFor more information about the American Railroad tour\, including a performance at The Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts (The Soraya)\, click here. \nInformation about American Railroad partner\, For Freedoms\, will be available at the event.

SUMMARY:TOUR:  The Yellow Car and Historic Union Station (at capacity)
DESCRIPTION:This tour reached capacity within 48 hours! An additional tour will be offered this summer–details to be announced. \nWhile the Pacific Electric Railway’s Red Cars are one of the best-known fixtures of Los Angeles rail history\, whose name evokes trolley trips to the beaches or mountains for Angeleno history buffs\, the Yellow Cars of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (or LARy) were equally important. \nFeaturing materials sourced from the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, Metro Art’s exhibition in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery\, The Yellow Car and Los Angeles\, offers a fond look back at two foundations of public transit in the region: the Yellow Cars and the transition to LA’s first years of bus service. Together\, these early rail and bus lines shaped the Metro system we have today. \nLearn about the history of the Yellow Cars\, how the system connected to Union Station\, and the experience of this LA architectural landmark in its early years. This tour will be co-led by Chris Salvano\, Digital Resources Librarian in the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, and Barbara Lashenick\, Metro Art Docent Council Founder. \nThe tour will begin at the Information Kiosk\, just inside the Alameda side of Historic Union Station\, and involve minimal walking. Following the tour\, guests are encouraged to grab lunch at the station or wander across the street to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. \nTour is free. \nRSVP on Eventbrite. \n> Learn more about the Yellow Car exhibition\n> Learn more about the Waiting Room Gallery at Union Station
