This Jewish photographer was the ‘unlikely’ chronicler of New York’s Chinatown
He took some 80,000 to 100,000 photographs of the densely populated Lower Manhattan neighborhood throughout the 1970s and 80s.
The "unlikely photojournalist" Emile Bocian lived in the historic Confucius Plaza, as perhaps the only non-Chinese resident of one of Manhattan's first housing projects built for Chinese Americans.(photo credit: COURTESY/THE MUSEUM OF CHINESE IN AMERICA)ByJULIA GERGELY/JTAUpdated:
