Скачать или смотреть Ode to Our Los Angeles Chinatowns

The very first Chinese settlers to Los Angeles beginning in 1850 as well as many later immigrant Chinese tended to live segregated in Chinatowns.

The video is a presentation of Old Chinatown, New Chinatown, China City, and City Market/San Pedro Street. Some factors why there were so many enclaves are: racism, segregation, civic renewal in the 1930s including the building of the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal, known as Union Station; and further renewal with the razing of the Vicente Lugo Adobe in 1951.
