The Gray Bird Sings: The Extraordinary Life of Betty Kwan Chinn

A Conversation with author Dr. Karen M. Price and activist Betty Kwan Chinn

Betty Chinn worked tirelessly to establish homeless shelters and to feed thousands in the Humboldt community. As a child, she was separated from her family and exposed to the worst of humanity. Despite these monstrous conditions, she journeyed from fear to forgiveness and became a beacon of hope for those most vulnerable and an inspiration for all. 

Come meet Betty Kwan Chinn.
