Description

The Chinese Historical Society of America and the Chinese American Citizens Alliance present "To Enjoy and Defend Our American Citizenship"

In the 1880s, the federal government passes legislation that removes the equal protection under the law provided by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Racial discrimination and violent attacks intensify throughout the next decades, and community members face the challenge of organizing to fight for basic human rights.

Join CHSA in exploring the experiences of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance in their groundbreaking work alongside groups such as the NAACP to challenge discriminatory laws and create the support systems necessary for survival in a segregated United States.

Exhibit: Now through December 13, 2008
