Join Sunset Park Library and The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) for a documentary screening and discussion about "She Marches in Chinatown.

This documentary explores the legacy of the Seattle Chinese Community Girls Drill Team which was formed in 1952. And for 70 years, they have performed at parades all around Washington state, inspiring generations. This history is shared by Ruby Chow and her daughter Cheryl Chow from footage filmed in 2002. Cheryl took over the drill team in the 80s at the peak of their popularity when the drill team had 100 members. The team is about to celebrate their 70th anniversary at a challenging time: in the wake of the pandemic participation has dropped to 30 members, but the spirit of the drill team lives on!

Support for Culture Pass is provided by the Bloomberg Philanthropies, Donald A. Pels Charitable Trust, Nissan Foundation, and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.
