We love Maya Lin’s newest installation, “Maya Lin: A River Is a Drawing,” at the Hudson River Museum! From designing our museum to being a long-time supporter of our work, Maya continues to be a driving force in how we tell the untold stories in the making of America.

We believe a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that the world can change with a single act of giving.

And a huge thank-you to everyone who came out last Thursday to celebrate, toast, and dance the night away with us at our annual gala! With your support, we can continue our work in redefining the American narrative and celebrating and sharing the stories of Chinese in America.

At our 2018 Legacy Awards Gala, we were proud to present the Generational Legacy Award to the family of General Wen in memory and celebration of his achievement of building U.S.-China relations.

More than a century ago, Lieutenant General Ying Hsing Wen was the first Asian to graduate from West Point in 1909. He would go on to become a prominent general in the Chinese army and an invaluable source of unity in forging U.S.-China relations during a tense time in history.

Hazel Ying Lee tragically lost her life in the life of duty at the age of 33; however, she remains a trailblazer of Chinese American history and an American hero. To Hazel Ying Lee and all veterans, thank you for your service.

A pioneer in women’s aviation in both the United States and China, Lee was one of two Asian American members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), an elite group of female pilots who flew fighter planes for the United States during World War II.

At MOCA, we are dedicated to telling the untold stories of Chinese in America. This Veterans Day, we honor all Chinese American veterans who have served our country, brave individuals like Hazel Ying Lee.
