Earlier this week, the @nytimes and @uofcalifornia shared a video that surveys the history of Chinese restaurants in Southern California. In honor of that rich history, here's VC's own #TBT image of former staff members and friends in front of a popular Chinatown restaurant in the 1970s! Catch the video on youtube.com/californiamatters and learn about our upcoming summer screening at www.vconline.org #history #food #LA #Chinatown #LittleTokyo #summerscreening #shorts #film
