The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Asian American History 101 Podcast. In this episode, co-hosts Gen & Ted Lai talking about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first American policy that ended immigration from one specific ethnic group. What was it? Why did it happen? How did we finally end it? To close the episode, we talk a little about the 1882foundation and the great work they do to help acknowledge the contributions of Chinese Americans.
