Preserving All Under Heaven

The Gentrification of Chinatown

Preserving All Under Heaven: The Gentrification of Chinatown

In this timely virtual panel, we will investigate the question of how we can make our voices heard in a democracy by examining community reaction to the gentrification of Boston’s Chinatown. How can we preserve and empower the voice of the community, its history and its heart, in the face of encroaching development, displacement, and decline of housing? Join Angie Liou of the Asian Community Development Corporation, U Mass Boston’s Professor Andrew Leong, artist, writer, and educator Cynthia Yee, and journalist Ling-Mei Wong for this engaging and relevant event.

This event is supported in part by a grant from the Lowell Institute.
