perform a heartening and encouraging prayer for children to persevere through
times of hardship. "Sado okesa," a traditional dance characterized by

Feb 18 Community Day of
Remembrance - Claiming History: Justice Along Color Lines
2PM, www.janm.org
The Day of Remembrance
annually marks President RooseveltÕs infamous signing of Executive Order 9066
on February 19, 1942, which authorized the unconstitutional forced removal of
120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast and Hawai`i during World War II.
More than forty years
later, the United States government apologized, setting the record straight,
and silencing those who argued that the interment was justified. Or so we
believed. Now as then, supporters of those illegal actions challenge history
with arguments that seek to defend the indefensible. Day of Remembrance 2006
explores the legacy of redress, and considers its potential as a powerful tool
for the many working to refute revisionist interpretations of history. Noted
scholars, activists, and others will draw upon that legacy to suggest ways it
can be used to strengthen connections with other ethnic and cultural
communities seeking their own forms of redress.
Co-sponsored by Nikkei for
Civil Rights & Redress, Japanese American Citizens League/Pacific Southwest
District and the Japanese American National Museum.
February 18,
Chinese New Year Festival at The Huntington
At the
Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens
The Year of
the Dog is celebrated with traditional Chinese music and dance on Saturday,
Feb. 18, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Huntington Library, Art Collections,
and Botanical Gardens.
The
centerpiece of the Huntington festival will be a traditional Chinese flower
market in the entrance pavilion, with stalls of cut flowers and blooming
plants for sale. A number of flowers have special New YearÕs significance
in Chinese culture, including plum blossoms (symbolizing the beginning of
spring), peonies (prosperity), narcissus (longevity), and other blooms such as
orchids, forsythia, camellias, and golden mums. Many of these will be
offered at the event, subject to seasonal availability.
Other
activities will include lion dancers and martial arts demonstrations (11 a.m.
& 2 p.m.), a reading and book signing of The Year of the Dog by childrenÕs
author Oliver Chin (11:30 a.m.), Chinese musicians (noon - 1 p.m.), folk
dancers (1:30 p.m.), and a performance by a childrenÕs musical group (2:30 Ð
3:30 p.m.). Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy Chinese crafts
(dough doll making, knotting, lantern making), calligraphy workshops, and
Chinese brush painting demonstrations. And a Chinese New Year scavenger hunt
invites families to explore the Huntington in search of Chinese-themed items in
the art, library, and botanical collections.
Visitors can
also get a preview of the HuntingtonÕs Chinese Garden project, visit the site,
and hear an update about the gardenÕs progress. Construction on the lake
phase is well advanced, and artisans from Suzhou, China, were recently granted
cultural exchange visas to travel to Southern California to begin stone work on
the site.
The
HuntingtonÕs Chinese New Year Festival is made possible by the Carrie Kolb
Foundation, East West Bank, and Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.

Lecture- "Visiting a 17th-Century Garden through a Painting: Mi WanzhongÕs
Shao Yuan"
At The
Huntington Library
SAN MARINO, Calif. Ð A series of
public lectures on Chinese gardens and related topics begins this fall at the
Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. Addressing
different aspects of the history, art, and culture of China that are closely
linked to traditional garden designs, these lectures will help create the
historical and cultural contexts for the HuntingtonÕs own Chinese garden, which
is currently under construction. The first series, consisting of four
lectures, will focus on defining the characteristics of Chinese garden
design. The lectures are free. All lectures begin at 7:30 p.m. in
FriendsÕ Hall at The Huntington.
Philip Hu,
adjunct professor of art history at New York University, will offer a glimpse
into the world of 17th-century China through the medium of the famous Ming
Dynasty scroll painting, ÒShao Yuan Xiu Xi TuÓ (Gathering in the Garden of the
Spoonful of Water). Hu was trained as an architect and architectural historian
at UC Berkeley and UCLA. His special areas of expertise are the history
of Chinese painting, calligraphy, artistic patronage, garden culture, and the
print culture of the Ming and Qing periods.

Performance - Phoenix Rising
At Magnin
Auditorium, Skirball Center
When Yuan
Miao, a native of China, was a little girl, she was thought to have a speech
impediment because she was so quiet. Under the guidance of her grandmother, a
Tibetan spiritual master, she grew up and learned the power of mantric voice.
The ebb of
life, and tragedy, eventually guided Miao to the west and to begin singing
about the possibility of becoming phoenix-like... to experience joy in spite of
difficulties. Find out what makes this extraordinary lady sing... and what we
can all do to experience the same joy in our lives.
Phoenix: a
mythical bird that burned itself to ashes, and rose from the ashes to live
again.

10K Course (Highlighted by
the black line on the online map)
The 10K course is
considered challenging as it winds its way through Elysian Park (see elevation
map). This should not deter you as you will find many fellow runners competing
at all levels. Whatever your competitive bent, you should enjoy the scenery and
the camaraderie of fellow runners.
The early morning vistas
of downtown Los Angeles to the south and neighborhoods to the north from the
various vantage points in Elysian Park are quite breathtaking and not commonly
seen, even by longtime Angelenos. There is no vehicular traffic to contend
with. Mile markers indicate where you are and running times are called out by
supportive course workers. The course winds through tree-lined rolling hills
with the summit of Angels Point providing spectacular 180 degrees of the city.
There are four water stops stationed on the course.
5K Course (Highlighted by
the red line on the online map)
The run and walk begins on
North Broadway for approximately 1/3 mile, then turns left onto Bishops Road.
An immediate right turn at Stadium Way takes you over the 110 freeway toward
Dodger Stadium for about a 1 mile uphill climb. This distance includes a right
at Lookout Dr., then onto Lilac Terrace which leads again onto Stadium Way. A
U-turn a little past Elysian Park Ave. returns you to Stadium Way directly to Bishops
Road, then onto North Broadway toward the finish line. There is one water
station on the course. Starting times will stagger to accommodate all entrants.
Kiddie Run
This is a fun run for all
youngsters under 12 years of age. The "run" is approximately 1
kilometer (approx 2/3 mile). This event begins with warmup exercises and a
short discussion about the joy and importance of reading. The course features a
turnaround at Bernard St., then back to the official finish line. A goodie bag
awaits all Kiddie Run registrants.
Due to limited parking in
the Chinatown vicinity, it is highly recommended that
you arrive early to find parking. Please pay attention to street signs as
parking will be enforced. See the online map (pdf file) for parking
lot locations and street parking availability. Parking lot hours and prices are
subject to change without notice, please verify with parking attendant on all
info.
By Mass
Transit: The Metro Gold Line will be serving
Chinatown from Union Station, Highland Park, South Pasadena, Pasadena, and
Sierra Madre. The station is a 2-minute walk from the Firecracker Event site.
Trains run approximately every 20 minutes. Please visit the Metro's
website to get detailed information, rail timetables, and for
your trip planning.
