SUMMARY:Chinatown '75 Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:CHINATOWN ‘75 is an interactive walking tour that tells the story of the police brutality case that rocked Chinatown and the protest movement that arose in its wake. In May of 1975\, 25\,000 protesters marched from Chinatown to City Hall to demand justice for the beating of Peter Yew. \nBased on archival research and oral histories with march participants\, CHINATOWN ‘75 traces the route of the original Peter Yew protest march to paint an in-depth portrait of a transformative moment in Chinatown’s history. We’ll explore how the interactions between radical social movements\, community organizations\, and the NYPD shaped the ensuing demonstrations\, and how the iconic photographs of the march came to symbolize a generation of Asian American activism. \nImportant: The meeting location is the south side of Canal Street and Elizabeth Street. The ending location is Foley Square. Tour runs rain or shine. \nDate and Time: 8/15 at 2:00 PM\, 8/16 at 11:00 AM\nTIckets: $28.52 Student/Senior\, $33.85 General \nTours will be led by Dr. Michael Menor Salgarolo\, a New York City-based historian\, walking tour guide\, retired stand-up comedian\, and founder of UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours. He holds a PhD in History from NYU and is now an Assistant Professor of History at Bard College. \nThis walk is presented by UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours and Think!Chinatown\, as part of the 2026 Chinatown Storytelling Festival. \nUNASSIMILATED is a walking tour company that crafts unique narrative experiences to tell a people’s history of Asian America. We bring knowledge from the archive to the sidewalks to amplify forgotten and silenced Asian American voices from the past. Walks include Blood and Water\, The Original\, Manila Bayou\, and Chinatown ‘75.
