Stories of Shared Resilience: History of NYC’s Chinatown x Community Bldg
Aug 16 at 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
What drives seemingly ordinary people to devote their time and focus to serving their community? Or is the real question – why aren’t we all doing that?
Join us for the third session of Stories of Shared Resilience, a free, six-part cross-cultural storytelling series exploring the people and movements that have shaped America.
We’ll screen The History of NYC’s Chinatown: Episode 3 – The Shape of Belonging. As immigration in the United States surges after 1965, new arrivals expand Chinatown beyond its historic borders in search of community, prosperity and a new identity.
The screening will be followed by an engaging conversation with community organizers Argelia Ortiz, Yahshua WS, Jeannie Lee, and John-Paul Parmigiani.
