SUMMARY:January 2026 Program
DESCRIPTION:Click to register \n \nVideo Descriptions \n Revisiting East Adams (10:00 mins (edited)) By Jenny Cho\, 2004 \nRevisiting East Adams captures the history of a Chinese American community in downtown Los Angeles from the 1930s to 1950s. During this period\, the intersection of East Adams and San Pedro Street was home to a vibrant Chinese American community that preserved Chinese culture through social and religious organizations such as the Chinese Presbyterian Church\, Chinese schools and various youth groups. East Adams was also a self-sustaining community whose residents earned a living by working at local businesses such as the City Market on 9th Street\, the CFO gas station\, and the Kwong Hing Lung grocery store. The stories of these former Chinese residents expand our understanding of the history of Los Angeles. \nChinatown Two-Step (17 mins) By Eddie Wong\, 1975 \nChinatown Two-Step spotlights the importance of the Los Angeles Chinese Drum and Bugle Corps as an important fixture of the Chinese American community — not only serving as its representative in parades and events\, but also as an activity bringing the young Chinese American middle class together. \nSouthern California Chinese American Living WWII Veterans Congressional Gold Medal Presentation (10 mins (edited)) By Kenneth Eng\, 2021 \nIt is estimated that almost 20\,000 Chinese American men and women served in the U.S. military during World War II.  Sixty years after the end of the War\, a dinner was organized by the Chinese American Citizens Alliance in Los Angeles Chinatown\, to honor those veterans\, living and passed.  Southern California Chinese American Living WWII Veterans Congressional Gold Medal Presentation spotlights the formal award by ranking military leaders\, of Congressional Gold Medals to living Chinese American WWII veterans or their families. \nCelebrating Tyrus (9:13) By Pamela Tom\, 2022 \nCelebrating Tyrus is Pamela’s 2022 short film about the Chinese American artist Tyrus Wong\, whose paintings were the inspiration for the classic Disney animated feature Bambi. The film offers an intimate look into Tyrus Wong’s work on Bambi and his passion/hobby: kite making and kite flying.  Tyrus’s kites and inspiration send viewers soaring towards the sky.
