I am not from Chicago but have close contacts to the area. The On Leong building must be preserved. It is one of many symbols of the many and yet unsung contributions that the Chinese people gave to the USA. History has forgotten the sacrifices "we" gave to this country. History has forgotten the "exclusion" we suffered as a Chinese people. Its preservation will help keep the memories and continue the present work of the church and community.

We are a church-based community center in Chicago's Chinatown. Our programs target the needs of new immigrants who have limited English skills and are low income. About 2500 individuals are served each year through ESL classes and tutroing for adults, children and youth programs, services for new immigrants, family literacy, a school (pre-k to Gr.6)music program and computer center.
Celebrate with us!
