Join the Organization of Chinese Americans-Wisconsin Chapter for an afternoon celebrating Milwaukee's Chinese American history. This event features poetry reading by Milwaukee Youth Poet Laureate Angela Wang, personal and historical narratives from notable OCA members, and screening of the documentary film From Section 48 to King Drive (2026). This film uncovers a seldom-told narrative of Milwaukee's Chinese immigrant history through the installation of two state historical markers. Mixing archival fragments, local memory, and careful attention to place, the film traces how these small commemorations open into larger questions of migration, erasure, and belonging. Take part in the post film talkback with director Yinan Wang.
