Harry Potter meets the New-York Historical Society: I took my 10-year-old grandson to see this exhibit about Chinese in America, and he went through it happily, pushing buttons, watching videos. Later, after dinner, he thanked me for taking him. I thought that only African-Americans suffered here, he said, now I know about Chinese immigrants. We discussed racism for a moment, and then he offered the parallel with Pure Bloods in Harry Potter. Voldemort, who was not a pure blood was so horrible to people who had mixed heritage. Hes a thoughtful boy, and these conversations are helping to mold him into the man he will be after I am gone. nyhistory.org/exhibitions/chineseamerican
