  1. Immigration facilities opened on #AngelIsland to replace the old ones in #TheCity. Due to the #ChineseExclusionAct, Chinese people were funneled through the station while Europeans were never detained. Detention could range from two to twenty weeks and roughly 175K attempted to pass between 1910-40. #photography #americana #wa #california #californication #canon80d #blackandwhitephotography #travel #photos #trivia

  2. Many #ChineseCanadians call #DominionDay aka #CanadaDay - #HumiliationDay & don't celebrate.

    July 1, 1923, Canada welcomed white #immigrants & shunned #POC - mostly #Asian & #Chinese immigrants.

    As #Canadians celebrated opportunities #Canada provided - #ChineseImmigrationAct 1923, came into effect.

    It applied to Chinese nationals & people of Chinese descent who were British citizens. Predating #draconian #apartheid laws of South Africa by 25 yrs.

  3. Here also is the latest episode of Alberta Unbound, in which I speak to panelists Gary Mar, K. Linda Tzang, Nathan Ip and Teresa Woo-Paw about the meaning of the Chinese Exclusion Act to them, their families, and our province.

  4. Betty never married, yet she was the #matriarch of the Lynn family. Each year on Canada Day, Betty organized a family reunion at her parent’s gravesite in Toronto. She wanted the family to pay respects to her father, who first arrived in 1911, and her mother, who arrived in 1920.
