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

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.

One year before the #ChineseExclusionAct was brought into effect, locally the #VictoriaBC #SchoolDistrict voted to #segregate #Chinese #students from the school system.
In 2022, on the 100th anniversary, the #GreaterVictoriaSchoolDistrict issued an #apology for this & the #ChineseCommunity marched to #commemorate the actions of students who walked out in protest of the segregation.

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.
