Celebrate AAPI month with food, culture, and community! Join the US-China Education Trust and friends on May 22 at 5 pm for a lively discussion and light supper at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, located at the vibrant nexus between Washington, DC’s Chinatown and downtown. We will honor Trailblazer Grace Young, renowned Chinese cultural historian, author, and activist on behalf of America’s Chinatowns. Grace will be in conversation with local filmmaker Penny Lee, the co-producer of Flashback Chinatown D.C. and coproducing editor of A Tale of Three Chinatowns, and Di Gao, who leads the America’s Chinatowns Project at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Jen Lin-Liu, the globe-trotting culinary journalist and Beijing cooking school founder who now makes her home in Washington, DC, will moderate the conversation. They will examine the importance and preservation of America’s Chinatowns today and delve into DC Chinatown and Chinese food’s unique and evolving role in the nation’s capital. Join metro DC decision-makers and ”Chinese foodies” for this timely and dynamic conversation.
A reception with light supper follows on the rooftop library terrace catered by Chang Chang, DC flagship of celebrity chef Peter Chang’s family of Chinese restaurants on the East Coast.
