Get ready for laughter and remembrance on tonight’s APEX Express.

Live, in studio we’re featuring comedians Susan Alexander, Kat Evasco,
Lilibeth Helson and Priya Prasad from the Five Funny Females Festival
this weekend at the legendary Purple Onion in San Francisco.

We also visit the August 4th Eviction Commemoration of the I-Hotel,
and the unveiling of the I-Hotel Mural by Johanna Poething, honoring
the decades-long struggle for low income housing and the manongs who
helped lead the way in 1977.

And we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Angel Island Immigration
Station, one of the most important immigration sites in US history,
featuring a reading from Judy Yung and Erika Lee’s new book, Angel
Island: Immigrant Gateway to America.

Hosted by Eloise Lee and RJ Lozada.  Tune in!
