SUMMARY:Qing Ming Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join 1882 in celebrating the Qing Ming Festival at the Historic Congressional Cemetery on April 11th! \nQing Ming\, or Grave Sweeping Day\, is a holiday celebrated in China to honor and revere ones ancestors. It is typically celebrated by taking time to clean family graves and make offerings to ancestors through food\, or burning incense or paper money.\n\n1882 Foundation will participate in this festival by taking a visit to Range 99\, a memorial dedicated to the unnamed Chinese that were interred in this spot from 1896 to 1938. While there are no longer any remains in this spot\, the 1882 Foundation wishes to honor and celebrate some of the first Chinese immigrants to Washington\, DC. Our event will begin with a presentation in the chapel\, followed by brick dedications at Range 99.\n\nWhen: Friday\, April 11\, 2025 from 4:00-6:00 pm\nWhere: Historic Congressional Cemetery\, 1801 E St. SE\, Washington\, DC 20003\n\nRSVP with the following link: https://forms.gle/TXTmgHNSMUuaTqmV8
