Tour Start time: April 1 @ 11am | Duration: Around 90 mins, ending at Hop Lee for a meal | Price: $25 (lunch not included)

A tour through two important ethnic neighborhoods of the Lower East Side, comparing the racial injustice placed on each community in the 19th century and how each community emerged from it.  Just some of the stops include Church of the Most Precious Blood, the first Italian American Church in New York;  the Mulberry Street tenements ; the site of the founding of the fraternal order of the Sons of Italy; Confucius Plaza, created in the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act; Chatham Square, and its memorial to Asian Americans who died in defense of democracy; and the residence of Dr Sun-Yat-Sen, Father of Chinese Democracy. 

After the tour, as many as can, please gather at Hop Lee for conversation and a delicious Chinese meal! We welcome you all to join in!
