Chinatown Auxiliary | New York City's Chinatown
Clip: Season 8 Episode 9 | 1mVideo has Closed Captions
The senior residents of New York City's Chinatown walk us through the history of their neighborhood.
In New York City's Chinatown, senior residents have weathered change in their Manhattan neighborhood. These immigrants, and members of the auxiliary police, have seen waves of crime and prosperity over the years that put them and their fellow neighbors at risk. But police presence during that time also caused unease as they did not have a relationship of trust with law enforcement.
