  &ldquo\;Searching for Trent Alley: Asian American Footprints in Downtown 
 Spokane&rdquo\; helps us trace the areas of downtown that served as home t
 o vibrant Asian communities beginning in the late-1800s despite discrimina
 tory policies and attitudes at national\, regional\, and local levels. Rac
 ist immigration and land laws limited the development of Asian neighborhoo
 ds in Spokane.</p>\n<p>As Expo &lsquo\;74 neared\, the Asian population do
 wntown had already begun to disperse\, moving businesses to areas that all
 owed for greater opportunities. Expo '74's beautification efforts gutted t
 he last surviving remnants of Spokane's Asian community in Trent Alley. Ex
 po Revival honors the space they inhabited and recognizes the decades of c
 ontributions from Japanese\, Chinese\, Filipino and other Asians who came 
 here for work and were integral parts of the community\, but whose histori
 es were erased. Their stories remind us of how people and communities from
  all backgrounds are woven into a city&rsquo\;s foundations and as we move
  forward\, we can reconsider how we acknowledge their impacts.</p>\n<p>Con
 tinuing the legacy is a companion art exhibit titled &ldquo\;We Are Made O
 f Stories" - a collection of contemporary artworks by Asian/Asian American
  local youths and residents on the stories we tell about ourselves\, about
  each other\, and about our world. Through art\, we reflect on how we view
  the stories of the past as they invite us into the stories of today.&nbsp
 \;</p>\n<p>Both the history exhibition and the art exhibition will be on d
 isplay at the Central Library through June 2.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>To volunteer
