Join us on Oct. 24th for the Chinese American Muse

Join us on Oct. 24th for the Chinese American Museum's Commemoration of the Los Angeles Chinese Massacre of 1871 tomorrow on Thursday, October 24th in remembering the victims of the tragic incident. The program will be held online and in-person at 7:00 pm PDT.

The annual observance marks 153 years since Oct. 24, 1871 when a racially motivated mob of 500 Angelenos stormed into a predominantly Chinese section of L.A., assaulting residents and looting homes and businesses. The violence claimed the lives of 18 victims, including a young boy. Although eight perpetrators were convicted for their involvement in the attacks, the convictions were overturned a year later.

This tragic event occurred on the doorsteps of what is now the Chinese American Museum. Since 2010, CAM has annually observed October 24th as a significant date in American history. On this day, CAM will continue to acknowledge the past while providing a safe space for reflection and dialogue on contemporary issues surrounding race and xenophobia.

Friends of the Chinese American Museum Board Chair, Dr. Gay Yuen, will lead the candlelight vigil, which will be followed by a traditional Chinese bowing ceremony. The program will also feature remarks from keynote speaker Paula Yoo, author of the award-winning book, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry: The Killing of Vincent Chin. Yoo will examine our history of racial violence and discrimination and how we can learn from the past to navigate today’s tense social climate.

一年一度的紀念活動標誌著1871年10月24日華埠大屠殺發生153週年，當時一群500名洛杉磯暴徒衝入一個以華人為主的社區，襲擊居民，搶劫房屋和商店。這場暴力事件導致18名受害者喪生，其中包括一名年輕男孩。儘管有八名施暴者因參與襲擊而被定罪，但一年後他們的罪名被推翻。

這場悲劇就發生在目前華美博物館門前行人道。自 2010 年開始，華美博物館每年都將10月24日視為美國歷史上的重要日子。在這一天，華美博物館將繼續緬懷過去，同時為民眾提供一個安全的空間，讓大家反思及探討當代種族與仇外心理的相關問題。

華美博物館之友董事會主席阮桂銘博士將主持燭光晚會，隨後將舉行華人傳統的鞠躬悼念儀式。主講嘉賓Paula Yoo將在活動中致詞，她是得獎書籍《從竊竊私語到集會吶喊：陳果仁被殺》的作者。Yoo 將探討我們的種族暴力和歧視歷史，以及我們如何從過去汲取教訓，以應對當今緊張的社會氣氛。

On Thursday, Oct. 24, the Chinese American Museum

On Thursday, Oct. 24, the Chinese American Museum will commemorate the Los Angeles Chinese Massacre of 1871 by remembering the victims of the tragic incident. Join the program online or in-person at 7:00 pm PDT as we remember the memory of those who lost their lives.

The annual observance marks 153 years since Oct. 24, 1871 when a racially motivated mob of 500 Angelenos stormed into a predominantly Chinese section of L.A., assaulting residents and looting homes and businesses. The violence claimed the lives of 18 victims, including a young boy. Although eight perpetrators were convicted for their involvement in the attacks, the convictions were overturned a year later.

This tragic event occurred on the doorsteps of what is now the Chinese American Museum. Since 2010, CAM has annually observed October 24th as a significant date in American history. On this day, CAM will continue to acknowledge the past while providing a safe space for reflection and dialogue on contemporary issues surrounding race and xenophobia.

Friends of the Chinese American Museum Board Chair, Dr. Gay Yuen, will lead the candlelight vigil, which will be followed by a traditional Chinese bowing ceremony. The program will also feature remarks from keynote speaker Paula Yoo, author of the award-winning book, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry: The Killing of Vincent Chin. Yoo will examine our history of racial violence and discrimination and how we can learn from the past to navigate today’s tense social climate.

Pre-registration is required for both in-person and virtual attendees. Register through our link in bio.

Jenny Chow, a young Chinese American girl, has always struggled with chopsticks. The slippery utensils have been difficult for her to master no matter how many times she’s tried. But with her cousin Victor’s birthday party around the corner, Jenny doesn’t want to be the only person in her family who doesn’t know how to use chopsticks. Using her creative problem-solving skills, Jenny will do whatever it takes to prove that she can partake in her family’s long-held chopstick tradition and finally pick up and eat her dumplings, too.
