Join us as we celebrate the release of Curtis Chin's memoir, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant, which coincides with Detroit Historical Museum's newest Community Gallery exhibition Detroit's Chinatowns.
Now a filmmaker and writer living in LA, Curtis Chin spent his youth amidst the bustling Chinese restaurant his parents owned in Detroit's Chinatown neighborhood. His new book explores the lessons and experiences gleaned from growing up queer and Asian American in Detroit's Chinatown.
