SUMMARY:Ripples from the Chinese Exclusion Acts
DESCRIPTION:Learn how the Chinese Exclusion Acts had profound impacts on generations of immigrant families.\nPetaluma Historical Library & Museum\nSaturday\, May 10 2:00-3:00 pm\n20 4th Street\, Corner of 4th & B St. Petaluma\nThis event is free\, please make reservations here \nThe 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and subsequent amendments and extensions effectively barred Chinese immigrants from entering the country\, preventing them from becoming citizens and severely limiting their economic opportunities. The acts hindered economic growth in the Western United States\, particularly in industries where Chinese labor was prevalent\, and also set a precedent for future discriminatory immigration policies targeting specific ethnicities. Join us at the Museum for a free presentation by Anna Eng\, Lecturer at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University and learn about the profound impacts these acts had on generations of immigrant families.
