- Description
- Native Washingtonian Jeanette Chow talks about her family's involvement in DC's Chinatown and the changes she's seen in the area. Her father came to the District as a teenager to join her grandfather in the laundry business. She remembers spending Sundays in Chinatown with her family in the 1960s and 70s, where they would get dim sum, go to the Chinese Community Church, and shop at Chinese grocery stores. Jeanette remembers how the construction of the Convention Center and the subway in the 70s and 80s changed the area and led to the growth of non-Chinese businesses. She discusses her involvement with the Eastern Wind Newsletter, the first Chinese American newsletter in DC, and reflects on a piece she wrote about the changes in the DC Chinatown community in the late 70s. She talks about the importance of affordable housing for immigrants in order to maintain Chinese heritage and culture in Chinatown. She ends by saying how the older, family organizations have to accomodate the needs of the younger generation. She also thinks it's important for families to educate children in Chinese language and culture.

"Dear Chinatown" is a making and sharing project for the DC Chinatown community to declare what they love about the neighborhood.

For her, Chinatown is a place where people feel belonging and can claim as their own. She hopes to see increased visibility of the people who created Chinatown and its culture in the future, and envisions it as a public space that can be used by the community and fufill their everyday needs.

- Description
- This interview was conducted on December 2, 2021 using the Their Story platform. The interview was intended to get Jess Dawson’s perspective on the topic of medical school applications and how the criteria of those applications affect medical students from minority communities. In this interview, Dawson discusses her perspective on the judgment of medical school applications and describes how most of the emphasis is placed on applicant’s work and volunteer experiences. Dawson describes how her personal work and research experiences prior to medical school set her application apart but also how the pressure to get so many experiences was ultimately damaging to her mental health. In an academic context, Dawson discusses her experiences taking the MCAT, the impact these tests have on medical students, and how recent changes to the STEP One exam have altered the medical school experience. Dawson describes how the importance of previous experience often disadvantages applicants from minority communities who don't have as many connections. She also described the privilege experienced by medical students who are children of doctors and thus have more connections and less barriers. She also discusses how she feels medical schools favor individuals from economically privileged backgrounds. She concludes the interview by describing her experience working to get some new questions on her medical school application and her perspective on how medical schools are pursuing a limited form of diversity.

Ms. Dawson also describes her journey to realize her interest in the medical field and how her time spent as an undergraduate at American University helped her to recognize that interest. She also discusses her time as a medical student at the University of Washington in detail, specifically focusing on how being a woman of color and first-generation immigrant affected those experiences.

The interview then turns to Ms. Dawson’s time as a first-year resident working in a Los Angeles hospital during Covid-19 and the effect of that period on her personally and professionally. The interview concludes with a discussion of racial health disparities in the U.S., Ms. Dawson experience in working through those disparities with her patients, and her perspective on how those disparities can be addressed in the future.

- Description
- Recent DC transplant Lance Tran discusses the meaning of Chinatown to him. Growing up in Missouri, he reflects on not having big celebrations of his culture. He remembers going to Chinatown for the first time in San Francisco and being struck by the sense of community and the pervasiveness of Chinese culture. Lance sees Chinatown as a way to connect with his culture, speak Cantonese, and as a place of refuge. He talks about the future of Chinatown, and hopes that the city can strike a balance between creating a place that is open and welcoming for everyone, while not displacing original residents. He says that we need to be mindful of issues like gentrification.

- Description
- Artist Althea Rao reflects upon the impact of COVID in her life, especially in relation to immigration issues she has been experiencing since August 2019. Althea is from China, and shares that COVID has not had too much of an impact on her because she's been experiencing many of the issues (unemployment, lack of healthcare, etc.) since the beginning of her problems with immigration. While on a day-to-day level her life has changed with new social distancing measures, she believes that her life has been in limbo for a long time, and she feels full of sympathy for those who are now feeling frustrated with their current situation. Because of her immigration issues, Althea shares that she has not felt the need to find something new to sustain her, but points to her long-term art project with local communities as a positive force. Althea discusses how COVID has impacted the relationship between China and the US, and has shaped the perception and experiences of Asian Americans. She ends by reflecting on how COVID has brought death closer to her and people throughout the world.

- Description
- Naoko Wowsugi, a Humanities Truck fellow and studio art professor at American University, discusses how COVID has impacted her as an immigrant, an artist, and an educator. She shares how she experienced COVID a bit earlier than those in the US, since she was in Japan with family during the initial outbreak in Wuhan. She was worried the virus would impact her travel plans, but ultimately made it back to the US before travel bans went into place. Naoko talks about how COVID has cancelled or postponed the projects she was working on as an artist, including her project with the Humanities Truck as a fellow. She shares how she took in-person meetings with people for granted, and has had to adjust to replicating those interactions online. Naoko finds hope in the number of people who have come forward to help their communities and put their lives at risk to save others. She hopes we will reflect on issues of gentrification and displacement as a result of the virus, and learn about what is really essential to our lives and how those essential things should be shared equally.

- Dan Kerr; Regina Chow McPhie
- Description
- Native Washingtonian Regina Chow McPhie discusses her family history in DC's Chinatown and reflects on the necessity of perserving Chinese heritage in the area. She talks about how her family was involved in Chinatown from its earliest days, and how her grandfather helped start the Lee Family Association. She says that her grandfather and other immigrants were relegated to domestic work, such as the laundry business, due to racial discrimination and a hatred of the Chinese. Regina talks about how Chinatown has significantly diminished. She remembers visiting Chinatown and connecting with thousands of other Chinese in the 60s and 70s, whereas now only about 300 Chinese live in the area. While she admires the DC government's efforts to preserve Chinatown, she thinks they can do more, perhaps with money collected from parking tickets. She says now that Chinatown is struggling to exist. Regina sees a dichotomy between the older and younger generations in terms of the importance of preserving heritage. She views this as extremely important: "if you don't have your heritage, you don't have your history. You don't exist."

- Description
- Native Washingtonian Rita Moy reflects on her history with the Chinese New Year celebration in Chinatown. She remembers coming down to Chinatown for the festival by streetcar as a child, going to family association buildings, receiving "red envelopes" of money gifts, and watching the firecrackers with her siblings from the top floor of buildings. She briefly talks about her father's involvement in Chinatown politics, such as with the Moy Family Association. Rita discusses how she's seen Chinatown evolve: whereas it used to be a tight-knit communtiy of mostly Southern Chinese, an increase in diversity has led to what she sees as good changes. While she says DC Chinese have scattered around the DC area, the Lunar New Year is now "a diverse group celebration."

- Description
- SUMMARY: This interview took place in Arlington, Virginia. Teresa was born in El Salvador and then immigrated to the United States in 2000. During the interview many topics were discussed such as life if El Salvador, life in the United States, and stereotypes about the United States. Also discussed was the subject of discrimination of the Latino population. PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The Homeless Voices Amplification Co-op (HVAC) works to amplify stories of unhoused individuals’ past and present work experiences. Recognizing that unhoused individuals are the most valuable source of knowledge on the realities of their employment, HVAC partners with the unhoused to create space for strategic community reflection as a means to further activism for economic justice. HVAC believes stories have the power to humanize individuals and undermine stigmas and stereotypes in ways statistics cannot. HVAC intends to draw upon the power of these stories to create a powerful, multi-dimensional online platform that can enhance efforts to mobilize the community.

- Description
- Victor Rodriguez’s interview was conducted on November 11th, 2021, using the Their Story platform. The interview starts with Victor Rodriguez discussing his experience growing up as a Mexican American, his parents’ experiences immigrating to the United States, how his heritage affected how he was treated with school, and his changing relationship with his Mexican American identity. Throughout the interview, Rodriguez talks about how having mentors who shared or understood his cultural heritage was a significant part of his journey to pursue medicine. When discussing his experiences in medical school, Rodriguez talks about the lack of diversity awareness in medical schools and his work to advocate for himself and other Latin American medical students. Rodriguez also discusses his experiences working in minority communities and his desire to combat health disparities. When talking about the effect of Covid-19 on his medical education, Rodriguez talks about how he feels he missed out on an important learning experience by not being allowed to see Covid patients. The interview concludes by returning to the discussion of health disparities in the United States and Rodriguez’s perspective on how increasing diversity within the medical field might be one of the best ways to continue combating those disparities.
