Chinese Political Group Life for member of the See Family has paralleled that of many Chinese American families since the 1950s. Spending time with her grandparents at the F. Suie One Company in Chinatown, Guest Curator Lisa See grew up hearing many family stories. In 1989, Florence See Leong, encouraged Lisa to write a family history. On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of a Chinese American Family was the result. Researching her family history led Lisa to interview more than 70 people. The remarkable story Lisa See uncovered became the basis for this exhibition: a glimpse into our understanding of the Chinese American experience. Chinese American Contributions The flood of newcomers, the national obsession with traditional values, and the more personal search for roots, have fueled the resurgence in cultural and recreational activities and traditions that had declined in the 1950s.

Chinese Pictures Chinese Laborers In The West Chinese laborers contributed mightily to the economic development of California and the West. Many industries relied heavily on Chinese labor. However, Chinese participation were limited severely after 1882, when Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited workers from entering the country and declared Chinese ineligible for citizenship. If laborers continued working they might never see their families again. If they returned to China a life of poverty awaited them. Early Immigrants Came Looking for Gold Large scale Chinese immigration to California began after news of the discovery of gold reached China. Railroad Construction Employed Thousands In 1863 the Central Pacific began working east from Sacramento, California, on the nation's first transcontinental railroad.

Chinese Musician By Madeline Sumida, Fall 2012 Intern Veterans Day is a time to honor the men and women in the United States military. Asian immigrants to the United States have served in American conflicts since the War of 1812, but for many years federal legislation prevented most from becoming citizens. During WWII, Asian Americans enlisted in unprecedented numbers. This monument honors the members of the 442nd who lost their lives during the World War II battle at Biffontaine. Items in the Smithsonian collection, such as this monument (pictured above) to the 442nd Combat Team’s sacrifices to liberate French territory from Nazi German control, remind us of the Asian American role in U.S. military history.
