BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, WONG KIM ARK, THE CHARMING BETSEY AND THE SAND LOT PROTESTS

from My History Can Beat Up Your Politics · host Bruce Carlson

When it comes to citizenship decided by birth, the story of Wong Kim Ark, a young man born in the US of Chinese descent who was denied entry to his country, should be on a few minds. We tell that story in this episode, along with the Sand Lot protests that led to his change in status, and the 1804 about a ship that helped reinforce their thinking. This and thoughts about early Trump Presidency. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
