On March 14, 20, and 21, 2024. The Association of Chinese Americans (ACA) recently made a significant contribution to the cultural landscape of Detroit through its support of the new Detroit Chinatown Exhibition at the Detroit Historical Museum. This initiative aimed to enrich the community’s understanding of the rich history and vibrant culture of the Chinese American community in Detroit.
In collaboration with the Detroit Historical Museum, ACA organized a remarkable event that brought together over 170 local community members, including seniors from six senior apartments across Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw Counties. Recognizing the importance of accessibility, ACA facilitated transportation and provided Chinese-speaking docents to enhance the participants’ experience as they delved into the captivating narratives of history and culture within the exhibition.
The event made a profound impact on the Chinese American community, offering a unique opportunity to explore the legacy of the two Chinatowns that once thrived in Detroit. Notably, ACA’s Detroit office was once situated in the Second Chinatown, underscoring the organization’s deep-rooted connection to the city’s historical narrative.
As the oldest Chinese American nonprofit organization serving the community since 1972, ACA remains steadfast in its commitment to preserving and promoting the legacy of Chinatown history in Detroit. This event underscores ACA’s ongoing advocacy efforts, as well as its dedication to fostering diversity and cultural awareness within the community.
Looking ahead, ACA reaffirms its pledge to continue advocating for the recognition and celebration of Detroit’s Chinatown history. Through initiatives that promote cultural enrichment and mental health support, ACA remains steadfast in its mission to empower and uplift community members for generations to come.
The success of ACA’s contribution to the Detroit Chinatown Exhibition reflects its enduring impact and long-term commitment to serving the Chinese American community and promoting cultural understanding and appreciation.
密西根美华协会（ACA）最近通过对底特律历史博物馆的支持，为底特律的文化景观做出了重要贡献，这项举措旨在丰富社区对底特律华裔社区丰富历史和活力文化的了解。
在与底特律历史博物馆的合作中，ACA组织了一次令人瞩目的活动，聚集了包括来自韦恩县、奥克兰县和沃什特纳县六个长者公寓的超过170名本地社区成员。ACA意识到提供便利的重要性，为参与者提供了交通服务，并提供了说中文的讲解员，以增强他们在展览中探索历史和文化故事时的体验。
这项活动对于华裔美国人社区具有深远的意义，为他们提供了一个独特的机会，去探索曾在底特律繁荣昌盛的两个唐人街的遗产。值得注意的是，ACA的底特律办公室曾经位于第二个唐人街，突显了该组织与城市历史叙事的深厚联系。
作为自1972年以来为社区服务的本地最古老的华裔美国非营利组织，ACA坚定不移地致力于保护和推广底特律的唐人街历史。这项活动强调了ACA持续的倡导工作，以及其致力于在社区内促进多样性和文化认同的承诺。
展望未来，ACA重申了其继续倡导底特律唐人街历史认可和庆祝的承诺。通过促进文化丰富和心理健康支持的举措，ACA始终坚定不移地致力于为未来几代社区成员赋予力量并提升他们的境界。
ACA对底特律新唐人街展览的贡献的成功反映了其持久的影响力和长期致力于为华裔美国社区服务并促进文化理解和赏识的承诺。
