No matter your own personal family heritage, China Towns and similar cultural districts have been integral parts of the crazy quilt of America, beloved for the rich and colorful traditions, the amazing foods, and the beautiful art, architecture, and aesthetics passed down through generations of artistry, craftsmanship, and traditional cultural practices.
These places are important to the beauty and diversity of our cities, and they deserve to be supported, celebrated, and preserved. They are American places and landscapes, American cultural groups and people, and a part of our collective American heritage.
Please consider adding your name in support of preservation efforts. The link to the petition is within the following post and supporting article.
National Trust senior director of research and policy, Di Gao, shares how Chinatowns inspired her to learn about urban planning, development, and preservation and how these practices impact the future of ethnic enclaves.
