This PBS documentary examines the origin, history and impacts of the 1882 law that made it illegal for Chinese workers, and later those from all Asian nations, to come to the U.S. and for Chinese nationals already here to become U.S. citizens. The first in a long line of acts targeting Asian people for exclusion, it remained in place for more than 60 years. Please join BRJA to screen, reflect, and discuss the long-lasting impacts of these racist immigration policies.
