SUMMARY:Culture Series: 9-Man
DESCRIPTION:To what extent did 9-man volleyball help Chinese immigrants preserve their culture?  \nHumanitiesDC & Ted Gong Present Culture Series: 9-Man\, a conversation with key members of the Chinese American community reflecting on the street sport that continues to unite generations. For more than 90 years\, 9-man volleyball has drawn teams from Chinatowns across the United States. In fact\, the game is so popular that the last time a rotating competition took place in Washington\, DC\, it closed Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the FBI Building. \nAs immigrant identities continue to face challenges\, understanding the impact of 9-man volleyball allows for a broader discussion on the importance of cultural spaces. Historical research has led to ongoing conversations about cultural preservation and identity within the Chinese American community\, ensuring 9-man remains a thriving sport today. \nJoin us for a panel discussion exploring how the game’s strict rules\, emphasis on community\, and longstanding traditions have contributed to cultural preservation across generations. Together\, we’ll revisit the rich history of 9-man volleyball in DC and highlight the resilience of Chinese American communities in maintaining their heritage despite adversity. \nRegistration Event Link
