SUMMARY:Annual Walk of Remembrance Celebrates Impacts and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Change Through Kindness” was always the motto of Gerry Low Sabado\, a descendant of Quock Mui\, the first Chinese woman born in California\, who spoke multiple languages including Rumsen and Ohlone\, and was a resident of the Fishing Village of Point Alones. Growing up\, Gerry didn’t know much about her family’s history until she read Chinese Gold\, a book by Santa Cruz historian Sandy Lydon\, which detailed the story of her great grandmother\, the impacts of the fishing village community on the Monterey Bay\, and their tragic dispersal in the early 1900s after being driven out of their homes due to fire and looting. Gerry\, a Monterey teacher who often worked to do good and stand up for various communities\, wanted to bring this knowledge to our community\, and approached the PG Museum in the hope that they might team up to shed light on this important history. \nThis year’s Walk of Remembrance will be held on Saturday\, May 9\, 2026. Starting at the PG Museum and ending at Hopkins Marine Station\, the walk is just under 2 miles roundtrip on a primarily flat and accessible surface. The Museum will also serve as a learning hub for anyone interested in learning more about the history of the Fishing Village and its community with an updated and expanded exhibit about the Fishing Village\, Gerry\, and the Walk. \nThe day will start at 12:00pm with a discussion in the Museum’s Bird Gallery\, followed by a Chinese lion dance at 1:00\, some brief remarks\, and the Walk itself starting around 1:45. To get more inspired and learn about this incredible history\, Chinese Gold is available for sale in the Museum store.
