Historical Record of Chinese Americans | A Look Back at the Hateful “Yellow Peril” Rhetoric

More than a century after the nation was born, and after abolishing slavery, America introduced a policy that blatantly targeted and discriminated against the Chinese – the Chinese Exclusion Act. Furthermore, this is the only law in American history that prohibited the immigration of a particular racial group. Why were the Chinese the target of such a law?

Historical Record of Chinese Americans | Wong Chin Foo, the Pioneer of Chinese American Civil Rights

One hundred and twenty years ago, who founded the first organization to fight for the protection of rights of Chinese Americans? Who traveled across the country giving speeches to advocate for the Chinese to have equal rights in America? Who wrote countless media articles exposing those who slandered the Chinese, and testified in front of Congress in opposition of the Chinese Exclusion Act? And who engaged in open debate against anti-Chinese politicians, and was even willing to duel to the death?

His name was Wong Chin Foo (Wang Qingfu), and he has been referred to as the Martin Luther King Jr. for Chinese Americans. This pioneer advocate for the protection of rights of Chinese Americans fought his entire life for Chinese Americans to be treated equally. He did not undertake this effort alone. In 1892, he founded and went on to lead the Chinese Equal Rights League. He fought unwaveringly against the Chinese Exclusion Act.

一百二十年前,是谁发起了首个美国华人维权组织?
为了争取华人平等权利,是谁奔波于美国各地集会演讲?
是谁在媒体上奋笔疾书揭露那些诽谤污蔑华人之流,并为废除排华法案亲赴国会作证?

他的名字是王清福,他被称为美国华人里的马丁路德金。华人维权先驱王清福穷其一生引领美国华人争取平等地位。
他不仅亲自办报还于1892年发起并领导了“美国华人平等权利联盟”,他对排华法案进行了不屈不饶的抗争。
