Milwaukee remembers its Chinese Laundry Era
A new state historical marker in Milwaukee honors the city’s Chinese Laundry Era. Beginning in the late 1800s, for over a century, Chinese immigrants owned dozens of laundries to provide for their families. The historical marker sits outside the YWCA on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. That’s where one of the last businesses, Fred Moy Laundry, operated from 1940 to 1976.  A short film, by Beijing native and UW-Milwaukee lecturer, Yinan Wang (pronouncer: e-non wong) covers the marker’s unveiling and previews a new one expected to be installed at Forest Home Cemetery next spring. WUWM’s Eddie Morales asked Wang about the film and his experiences living in Milwaukee for the past decade.
