DC Chinatown in the Seventies was an active place. Harry Chow should know. He was a young community activist who had his hand in key activities from practicing Kung Fu to guiding afterschool programs and taking photography, including 8 mm film of events of martial artists contemporary with Bruce Lee. He continuously worked with the community through the public libraries since then to today. His house is a veritable storehouse of artifacts and photos of the Chinatown in the Seventies. Harry provided a glimpse of his material and insights at this Talk Story Event.
A decade of emergence, awareness and activity –the Chinatown Mural, youth patrols, Asian American literature, Chinese American consciousness and empowerment– in a vitally alive DC Chinatown.
