This imagecommentThe Baby Jack Rice Story is artist Flo Oy Wong?s tribute to her husband Edward K. Wong, who was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia during the time of segregation.

Flo shares, ?Ed was/still is an outstanding storyteller. When we started dating, I was enchanted by tales of his unique childhood. He was very different from the boys I knew in Oakland Chinatown. Even after we were married, he told me a different memory almost daily.

In 1962, the second year of our marriage, we went to Augusta for a vacation. I wanted to see firsthand the site that fed Ed emotionally, which led to my telling the history of the Wong Choy/Sue Shee Wong clan as an artist. I used rice sacks as the canvas for my Baby Jack historical tales. Rice was a staple for my immigrant family residing in Oakland Chinatown. Rice was a staple for the Chinese like Ed?s family residing in the segregated South.?
