Based on his new book, this presentation explores the recent history of Chinese immigration within the United States and the fundamental changes in spatial settlement that have relocated many low-skilled Chinese immigrants from New York City’s Chinatown to new immigrant destinations.
Please join APA VOICE, AAARI, and other partners for a candidate forum for New York City Council District 1, representing neighborhoods including Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Two Bridges, NoHo, SoHo, and Financial Distinct.
Join us for a screening and discussion of the short documentary Dear Corky, with director Curtis Chin. For over fifty years, New York native Corky Lee photographed his hometown’s Chinatown, and Asian American communities around the country.
Panel speakers will share personal stories about growing up with sewing mothers and grandmothers during the decades when practically every Chinese immigrant family in New York City included garment factory workers – the hard work and long hours, the social environment and friendships, union benefits and programs, and the strength, solidarity and activism of the immigrant women workers. Speakers will discuss how they teach this history and legacy to new generations.
Join Third World Newsreel and the Documentary Forum at CCNY for an online discussion of the PBS documentary, Plague at the Golden Gate, with producer/director, Li-Shin Yu, including the making of this film, its significance now, and her own path from editing to leading a film.
