Abstract/Description
Activists march in Boston, protesting against the New England Center's proposal to build a parking garage on Parcel C in Chinatown. In the 1990s, the New England Medical Center negotiated with the City of Boston to build a parking garage on Parcel C in Chinatown, land which had previously been promised to Chinatown residents for a community center. The Chinese Progressive Association helped form the Coalition to Protect Parcel C, which was instrumental in halting the New England Medical Center's plan. On September 12-13, 1993, Chinatown residents voted on a referendum regarding the New England Medical Center's proposal to build a parking garage on Parcel C. In the background of this image, several people hold signs that read: "VOTE. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE on NEMC's [New England Medical Center's] garage proposal on PARCEL C! Vote in the Chinatown Referendum Sunday, Sept. 12, 1993, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Chinese Merchant's Building, 20 Hudson Street. Monday, Sept. 13, 1993, 8:00 am - 7 pm, Quincy Elementary School, 885 Washington Street." In the right background, two people carry a protest sign that says: "Vote No No No No No Garage."
