The Wong Family and Chinese Immigration Struggles
This chapter examines the historical experiences of the Wong family as Chinese immigrants in America, highlighting the discrimination and societal isolation they faced. It focuses on Wong Kim Ark's journey and the legal battles that ensued due to the restrictive immigration laws of the late 19th century, ultimately impacting citizenship rights in the U.S.
The 1898 supreme court case called United States vs. Wong Kim Ark had affected enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Act, because the court found that people born in the U.S. to Chinese parents were U.S. citizens.
