The Chinatown Remembered Project documents the lives of Chinese Americans who came of age in Los Angeles during the 1930s and 1940s. Like others in their generation, these Chinese Americans lived through the Depression and then served their country in World War II. Yet unlike other Angelinos their age, Chinese Americans also dealt with the destruction of their community. Beginning in the early 1930s, much of Old Chinatown was destroyed to build Union Station. The old neighborhood was replaced by China City and New Chinatown. The Second World War also brought changes to the region. New industries and new residents arrived in Southern California, while tens of thousands Japanese American residents were forced into wartime incarceration camps. Chinese American youth in Los Angeles negotiated this changing social and political landscape. This project retells their story.
