In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Chatham Square Library will host a film series in May which highlights the unique experiences of Chinese-Americans.
On Saturday, May 20, we will screen Ed Moy’s Aviatrix: The Katherine Sui Fun Cheung Story. Aviatrix is an award-winning documentary film that chronicles the inspiring story of Katherine Sui Fun Cheung, who defied racial and gender barriers in pursuit of her dream of flying during the Golden Age of Aviation in the 1930s. She earned her pilot’s license during an era when less than one percent of all pilots were women and joined the Ninety-Nines, an all-women pilot’s club. She is considered the first licensed Chinese woman pilot in America.
