Explore Chinese
Reconciliation Parks History
On Podcast
|
Meet CRPF's Vice President, Gregory Youtz and get to know him through his conversation
on the Power
of Place Project podcast, where he joins urban planner Lihuang
Wung to explore the history behind Chinese
Reconciliation Park, tracing back to the "Tacoma Method," the 1885 forced
expulsion of Tacoma's Chinese residents more than 140 years ago, through to
the park's design and symbolism today. It's also why the community comes
together each year for the Tacoma Moon Festival to celebrate that same
spirit of remembrance, resilience, and reconciliation.
