At its peak, Helena’s Chinese community made up more than 20 percent of the city’s population—a vibrant presence that has since largely disappeared and that left few physical traces. One poignant exception is Forestvale Cemetery’s “China Row.” Located just outside the formal boundaries of the well-maintained cemetery, China Row reveals powerful stories of perseverance, adaptation, and global interconnectedness. Join Mark Johnson, Fellow with the University of Notre Dame’s Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies and his son, Thomas Johnson, a student of Chinese language evolution, for this exploration of Chinese grave markers, language, cultural symbols, and burial practices.
