SUMMARY:Qing Ming Grave Sweeping and Talk Story
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Qing Ming Festival at Range 99\, a memorial dedicated to the unnamed Chinese Americans who were burried there from 1896-1936. While the bodies were sent back to their families in China some time ago\, Range 99 represents the legacy of Chinese Americans in Washington DC. The space is also used to honor community members who have since passed. We will take part in grave sweeping\, weeding\, and de-cluttering the surrounding area of the memorial. \nAfterwards\, we will head to the 1882 Foundation Office for a Talk Story at 3PM. Our founder\, Ted Gong\, will give a presentation on family history and the significance of Qing Ming. \nTickets for each event are separate. \nRSVP for the Grave Sweeping \nRSVP for Talk Story

SUMMARY:Tangled Roots: A Family History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration into DC history. \nRichard Chan Bing is the author of Tangled Roots: Two Family Stories\, One Mixed American Heritage\, a book that explores Richard’s own family history and what it means to be mixed-race in America. His mother’s side traces back to Appalachian Virginia\, and his father’s has origins with some of the first Chinese immigrants from the 19th century. \nWith ties to Washington DC and DC’s Chinatown\, Richard’s research and story gives us a glimpse into what life was like in the past. How has Chinatown changed? What type of lives did the Chinese Washingtonians lead? \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Searching for Billie
DESCRIPTION:Join us with journalist\, Ian Gill\, as he talks about his journey understanding his mother’s story! \nIan Gill identifies as a Eurasian journalist\, who’s main ambition is to “sleep eight hours uninterrupted\,” per his South China Morning Post freelancer bio. Eurasian is not a term that is frequently used in America\, but many abroad identify with the word and their experiences are similar to the stories of many Chinese Americans. \nGill has written for a wide range of publications\, including the Asian Wall Street Journal\, Asiaweek\, Insight\, Fiji Sun\, and the Evening Post (Wellington). He lived in the West for the first 30 years of his life\, and then visited Hong Kong in 1975 and has lived there ever since. This visit was the impetuous for his book\, Searching for Billie\, where he uncovers his mother’s story and his family history. \nAt this event\, Ian Gill will discuss his writing process\, his mother’s story\, and be available for book signings! \nRSVP with the following link.
