Uncovering Discrimination And Saving Chinese American History w/Mott Street Girls: #79
Manage episode 323481644 series 2984793
Will and Norm speak with the Mott Street Girls (MSG), founders Anna Huang and Chloe Chan. They are second-generation Chinese Americans who met through tour guide training at the Museum of Chinese in America. During the COVID-19 crisis, they saw how xenophobia and misinformation decimated tourism in Chinatown and threatened the survival of many residents and immigrant-owned small businesses.
This led them to co-found MSG to make Chinese American history and culture more accessible to the public. By hosting Chinatown walking tours, creating educational social media content, and partnering with community organizations, they strive to preserve Chinatown’s rich cultural heritage, bring business to the neighborhood, and share the stories of their community.
