David Chai Presentation on Anson Burlingame

San Mateo County History Museum, Neighbor

The Museum
will present David Chai, who will discuss “Anson Burlingame: His Legacy in U.S.

city is named, was chosen by President Abraham Lincoln to be Minister to
China.  He served as such from 1861 until
1867.  Chai will delve into how
Burlingame did much to improve U.S. – China relations during his tenure.  Chai is a past mayor of Foster City and now

Chinese Americans.  The program is free
