TCAE&B: Models that Make Chinese American History Come Alive (Zoom Lecture)

The San Diego Chinese Historical Museum is partnering with the SDSU Chinese Cultural Center to produce this monthly Zoom lecture series.

For our July 2024 edition of TCAE&B, Mesa College Professor Emeritus Lois Wittner will take us on a tour of five different models that she researched and produced to illustrate the history of San Diego's Chinatown, including:

• Qin Shi Huang’s burial site depicting a portion of the Terra Cotta Army;

• The stores and living quarters of the Gim Wing and Woo Chee Chang, two of the first and prominent retail stores of cultural significance;

• The Turf Club and Parlor House.  Upstairs depicts a high class bardello and down stairs a saloon and Leroy room;

• A model depicting the inside and outside of a Chinese home during the lunar new year; 

• the Wong Lee laundry model based on the research of John LeeWong.
