In addition to Choy, speakers included Teresita Vicente, Cuban ambassador to Canada; Timothy Chan, president of the Chinese Canadian Historical and Cultural Society (CCHCS) in Montreal; and Mary-Alice Waters, president of Pathfinder Press and editor of Our History Is Still Being Written. The platform also included Cuban Consul General to Montreal Sergio Vélez and Michel Prairie from Pathfinder Books.
 
During his visit Choy was interviewed by reporters from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Spanish and Chinese; the CBC’s short wave division Radio Canada International; CBC television; the community radio station Radio Centreville; and Ruefrontenac.com, the online newspaper of locked-out Journal de Montreal reporters and writers. Choy’s tour was prominently featured on the Web site of Montréal Black Entertainment Television. Coverage of the tour along with photos appeared in the March 18 issue of the Chinese-language weekly La Presse Chinoise.
 
In the course of the week-long tour, Choy spoke to more than 700 people at college and university meetings, activities in the Chinese community, and other events. The book has generated very broad interest since its publication in 2005, and has been the subject of more than 75 meetings and panel discussions in cities around the world.
