An exploration of the Asian American experience in Columbus, Ohio, over the last century.

Asian Americans have migrated to the United States since the 1800s, as employment opportunities became available. In this episode, we explore the Asian American experience in Columbus, Ohio, throughout the last century. We'll take a look at history of Far East and Rice Bowl restaurants, the Osuga family and why Columbus doesn't have a Chinatown.
