In this episode, we visit the Chinese American Museum, Los Angeles, with Dr. Gay Yuen, the museum's Board Chair. A lifelong educator, Dr. Yuen shares how her early days as a non-English speaking student in Los Angeles, influenced her to become a trailblazer in multi-lingual learning in southern California, and the real difference between language learner and language immersion programs.
Dr. Yuen offers her unique perspective on gentrification in Chinatown, her appearance on an episode of Broken Bread with Roy Choi, and how she navigates the tensions between development and preserving her community's identity.
Finally, we learn more about the history of LA's Chinatown and the Chinese Massacre of 1871, one of the worst and least-known atrocities in Los Angeles' history, and the role she'd like the Museum to play in sharing its story.
