Chinatowns in Transition:
Portland, Seattle & Vancouver

 

Last summer the Council collaborated with Professor Anne Fulton and her PSU summer Capstone Chinese American history class to explore the nature of the Chinese American community in Portland in 1905, when a World Exposition was held here. The project resulted in an exhibit on World Cultures Day at the Oregon Historical Society.

This summer, we are partnering again and will look at Chinese communities in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver from historical and contemporary perspectives. Capstone students will present their findings on August 17.

We invite you to attend the presentation, which will also serve as a forum for discussing Portland’s Chinese community, past and present.
