Mary Ting Yi Lui (Creator)
In the summer of 1909, the gruesome murder of nineteen-year-old Elsie Sigel sent shock waves through New York City and the nation at large. Through the lens of this unsolved murder, this work offers a snapshot of social and sexual relations between Chinese and non-Chinese populations in turn-of-the-century New York City.
