P L A C E M A K I N G <br />.- I <br />Working With Community to Create A China <br />Town Memorial For Downtown Santa Ana <br />The history of the City of Santa Ana victimizing the Chinese <br />immigrants who lived withing the city by burning down China <br />Town was a horrific act. The deaths and pushing out this <br />community who relocated West of the City was part of a <br />wave of anti -Asian violence that swept across the 19th- <br />century—and unfortunately reverberates to this day. The aim <br />of this project is to recognize publicly that in order to <br />effectively address anti -Asian racism we must work to end <br />all forms of structural racism leveled at Black, Indigenous, <br />and other communities of color. One of the ways to <br />rectifying these wrongs is through acknowledging this history <br />and memorializing the communities that have been a pivotal <br />part of building our city. <br />CHINA <br />PROJECTS <br />TOWN MEMORIAL <br />
