Episode notes
Eastwind Books in Berkeley, California, has closed its doors. It was one of the oldest Asian-American bookstores in the country.
For decades, the store functioned as a cultural hub, not only for the Asian-American community, but for a variety of marginalized groups.
NPR's Ailsa Chang spoke with co-owner Harvey Dong about the bookstore's history and legacy.
