Sandwiched between Downtown Oakland and Lake Merritt, Oakland Chinatown’s current location with its densely populated, compact blocks may have resulted from exclusionary and racist laws stemming from the 19th century. But through the years, it has remained both a landing and launching pad for Asian immigrants to come into their own. One of the most striking features of Oakland Chinatown is its steady defiance against becoming an attraction or spectacle.
Attending this event, you will learn and witness what makes Oakland Chinatown unique is that it is a living, connected and engaged community with businesses and cultural institutions that serve its residents. With its prime location adjacent to Oakland City Center, it hasn’t been immune to the steady erosion of gentrification and displacement. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, residents, particularly elders, continue to face community safety issues.
The program will begin with a presentation of Chinatown’s history showcasing special projects, followed by a walking tour, and conclude with an optional lunch (at your own expense) at a local restaurant (we’ll make group reservations from which you can choose after registration).
