Committee of 100 (C-100), in partnership with the USA Pavilion, will build

Committee of 100 (C-100), in partnership with the USA Pavilion, will build an exhibit entitled, “The Chinese in America – We are Family” at the USA Pavilion at 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. The exhibit will demonstrate America’s unique strengths as a nation: embracing diversity, offering freedom of choice and an opportunity for success for all.

To create this exhibit, C-100 plans to rally everyone of Chinese heritage across America to submit their photos to create a Wall “The Chinese in America” with thousands of photos organized by Chinese family name to demonstrate that “We Are Family.” It will serve as a grassroots fundraiser for the USA Pavilion and will continue as an effort beyond the World Expo with future use in museums, public spaces, and beyond.

The exhibit will also highlight Chinese Americans who have contributed to important aspects of American life such as technology, the environment, the arts, sports, business, community service and government. It will show how America, as a cradle of freedom, helped shape these extraordinary pioneers.

We encourage all Chinese in America to participate by showing the face of the United Chinese of America. Please go to www.comebuildthewall.org for more information.
