Join us in celebrating a dual Anniversary! Our “Double Happiness” theme represents the joy of community celebration and the healing power of redress and reconciliation.

The Chinese American Historical Museum, built by CHCP, has been telling the story of San Jose's Chinatowns since 1991. And San Jose's City Council unanimously approved a 2021 Resolution recognizing the contributions of San Jose’s Chinese community. It also acknowledged “acts of fundamental injustice, terror, cruelty and brutality” and aimed to use the Apology as a teachable moment.

Let us know you're coming. All are invited: https://chcp.org/event-6795488
