About Remembering 1882...

In 1882, Congress passed the nation’s first immigration legislation–a law to prevent people of Chinese descent from entering the United States. The act would tear apart families, cut the nation’s Chinese American population in half, and remove their right to become citizens.

Featuring an exhibit and museum theater piece, Remembering 1882 culminates in a panel discussion & reception May 9 from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Philip Burton Federal Building at 450 Golden Gate. The panel will investigate the historical significance of 1882, the subsequent civil rights struggle, and its ramification today.
