Chinese Community Church 500 I St NW, Washington, DC , DC, United StatesJoin us at our upcoming April Talk Story Event on Sunday, April 23: The Thomson Project and Assisting Language Learners in Washington, DC.
The demands of a growing population of children and immigrant families in the 1960's urged the creation of the Thomson Project at the Chinese Community Church and established an ESL program in DC Public Schools in the mid-1970's.
Juanita Chan, Ruby Dair, Jeannette Kwok, John Lem, Rita Moy, and Mae-ye Wong played important roles along with others. Join us in sharing their experiences and memories of the education of young immigrants in the history of a youthful DC Chinatown.
