Come join us on December 6th for a small concert with Ben Fong-Torres and his band, benefiting the CHSA Museum’s Chinatown Memories Project!

The Chinatown Memories Project gathers and shares stories of the Chinatown experience through videos, publications, exhibits. Recent featured videos produced by celebrated journalist Rick Quan include stories about Fong Fong Bakery and CHSA co-founder C.H. Kwock. Sample clips from our recent Chinese Valentine’s Day interviews of Chinatown couples will be screened at the event.
