SUMMARY:A Bite of Chinatown History
DESCRIPTION:The history of Chicago’s Chinatown stems from the complex story of Chinese immigration in the 19th century. Come learn about stories rich with immigration legal difficulties\, Chinese food history\, illicit opium and gambling activities\, and unconventional family ties. The history of Chinatown embodies all these dramatic elements and more. Educator Yvonne Wolf will give a brief history of how Chinese immigrants were impelled to leave China in mid-1800s\, how they skirted around The Chinese Exclusion Act after 1882\, and what they contributed to the greater American cultural history. \nThis is a private event.
