A native of Seattle, she is the founder of Crane House, The Asia Institute, Inc., in Louisville, Kentucky, a non-profit organization which is the region’s premier Asian hub facilitating cultural understanding, diversity and education. She credits the Museum’s pan-Asian American inclusiveness for inspiring her to incorporate programs about a variety of Asian cultures at Crane House. Her lifelong interest in her heritage and history led her and her husband, the late Dr. Calvin Lang, to become supporters of the Museum more than 16 years ago, and more recently, to include the Museum as a beneficiary in his will. Calvin and Helen Lang “I knew Wing Luke in high school; we were both in leadership roles in the community. We (Calvin and I) began supporting the Wing Luke Asian Museum because we believed, and continue to believe in it and like the direction it’s going,” recalls Helen. Dr. Lang, a retired biochemistry professor at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, passed away in early 2008. He left a legacy that will always be remembered. As one of several organizations named in his will, the Museum credits his thoughtful and visionary gift as being one of the first to help set up our permanent endowment, as well as supporting key museum programs and our new building. Helen is a strong supporter of education. Recently, she helped initiate a Mandarin language program for preschoolers in Louisville. In her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, reading and learning new things. She continues to inspire and encourage us with her dedication and continuing leadership in the community. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Langs for including the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Dr. Lang’s estate plans. If you have done the same or are interested in doing so, please let us know so we can thank you or provide you with more information. For more information about our endowment or ways to support the Museum through your estate and/or financial plans, please contact Donna Ma at (206) 623-5124 ext. 138.
