Dancer at at the victory dinner for the Parcel C Community Center initiative

November 1994

A woman performs a dance wearing a mask and Chinese costume in front of guests at a dinner at the Josiah Quincy School celebrating Chinatown's victory to build a community center on Parcel C. In 1994, the New England Medical Center's plan to build a parking garage on Parcel C in Chinatown was halted and the Chinese Progressive Association was formally granted permission to build a community center on the land. In the background is a banner in English and Chinese that reads "Celebrate Chinatown's Parcel C Victory!" And a sign that says "No To NEMC's [New England Medical Center's] Garage!"
