Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
Origins Exhibition: Opening Reception
The Chinese American Museum will host an opening reception for its new exhibition, Origins: The Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in Los Angeles.
Where
Origins: The Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in Los Angeles creates a context for understanding Historic Chinatown, New Chinatown, and Monterey Park. Origins Online, an interactive website, facilitates further exploration and curation of emerging communities in the San Gabriel Valley and other Los Angeles locales.
Origins marks the first addition to CAM's permanent galleries since the Museum opened in 2003. Working closely with CAM, many community members researched and collected photographs and artifacts connecting these neighborhoods into one continuum of Chinese American history united by a commitment to community empowerment.
