Let's Talk Chinatown: Oral Histories of a Changing Neighborhood is a workshop in collaboration with the NYPL The New York Public Library's Chinatown Legacy Project. This workshop will engage audience members in a conversation about the changes happening in Chinatown through an interactive panel discussion with Chinatown residents, business owners, artists and activists.
