Chinatown residents say they've been kept in the dark about the Philadelphia 76ers' proposed new arena, but that will change Wednesday when they meet with 76 Place developers.

The Sixers say they chose a location near Chinatown because it's in the heart of Philadelphia's public transportation hub and they hope to revitalize the area's economy, but 24 Asian American organizations and residents have questions about the proposal.

A community culturally rooted in silence is speaking out loud and clear through these signs.
