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.
