During World War II, Pasadenans struggled with many questions. Was it right to lock Americans of Japanese descent in camps? What could be done to counter FDR’s War Relocation Authority?

John Lee Wong will explore the history of Chinese laundries in San Diego, drawing from memories of his family's business on State Street.

Join Clockshop for our 3rd Annual Community & Unity People’s Kite Festival on May 13, 2023, at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, next to Chinatown. This family-friendly cultural festival brings together diverse communities in Los Angeles through the art of kites and a day of joyful connection in this important public green space.

This all-ages celebration is free and open to the public. Come and spend the day flying kites, learning new flying techniques from Kite Masters, enjoy a “gallery in the sky,” participate in art-making workshops that explore the natural environment, and meet local community organizations.
