In marking the centennial of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, the Chinese Historical Society of America celebrates the resurgence of Chinatown into the vibrant and resilient community that it is today. Join us as go back to the days following the 1906 quake to explore how Chinatown rose from the ashes. Hear from turn-of-the-century entrepreneur and marketing maven Look Tin Eli as he announces his vision for the new “Oriental City.” Experience jazz pianist Jon Jang’s live performance accompanied by historic scenes of Chinatown from CHSA film archives and the new pictorial book San Francisco’s Chinatown.
