Thanks for the correction, Alex.
I guess that was a bit of ethnocentrism at work…
I've corrected the piece.

The Anna May Wong Society – For support of Anna May Wong and her ground breaking effect that "first opened non-Asian masses to accept Asians as more than less then them". "Anna May Wong – The spark of integration of two worlds"-David Moss.
There are about 2000 friends of Anna May Wong linked through MySpace to the Society and shortly will be asked to join the Society. I would encourage Alex Andre and anyone to post the headstone effort there as well (Societies blog named "These Foolish Things" will open November 7, 2007. I have had several unsolicited offers to contribute to an appropriate remains site memorial. Alex please contact me for there is no treasurer for a memorial undertaking.

Alex,

Let me know about Wong's headstone when you're ready. I'll be happy to post an article about it.

And thanks for the Paul Krugman reminder. I was aware of the change in policy at "The New York Times," but I haven't changed the Krugman link as of yet.

Thanks Andre. Either late this year or early next year, I'll see about collecting some money to get her a headstone and I'll send you some info if you'd like to post about it. Btw, Paul Krugman has a blog, The Conscience of a Liberal and his articles are open to the public since the NYT dropped their paywall. Thanks again.

Alex,

Yes, Anna May Wong's grave remains unmarked — though it's easy to find her because she's buried right next to her mother, whose grave *is* marked.

I'm sorry, but I don't know why there's no marker for Anna May Wong.

Hi Andre.

I was reading up on Anna May Wong and Louise Brooks, and I came across
your blog and your article about Anna May.

You mentioned that Anna May has an unmarked grave. Is that still true?

And if so, was there a reason since she did bequeath some money to her
sister.

Thanks.
