Opening Reception of “The Bluff City Chinese: a 150-Year Retrospective”

Join us as we celebrate 150 years of Chinese-American history with the opening
reception for our historical photo exhibition, “The Bluff City Chinese: A 150-Year Photo
Retrospective.” Our opening reception will feature distinguished speakers and light refreshments.

Exhibits will feature historical photographs and documents from the 1870s when Chinese people first came to the South in the 1870s, as plantation owners and industrial bosses searched for cheap labor after the formal abolition of slavery, up to the growth of Chinese-owned small businesses and community organizations over time.
