Act excluded the Chinese Submitted by KUED In the context of ongoing national debates over immigration, Emmy Award winning documentary filmmakers Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu tell the story of the The Chinese Exclusion Act as a special presentation of the award-winning PBS television series American Experience. The film, titled “The Chinese Exclusion Act” airs at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, on KUED and will repeat Sunday, June 3 at 3:00 p.m.. “The story of the Chinese Exclusion Act – from long before it was signed into law in 1882, to long after it was repealed in 1943 – is not simply an American immigration story – it is the American immigration story,” said directors Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu. “Given its impact and importance, it’s striking how little is remembered or known about it today. Starting after the Gold Rush and continuing long after repeal of the federal legislation during the Second World War, Chinese exclusion was the crucible in which the American debate over immigration and national identity first took shape and was forged. Nothing tells us more about how we have become the nation we are today.” On May 6th, 1882 – on the eve of the greatest wave of immigration in American history – President Chester A.

Called the Chinese Exclusion Act, it singled out as never before a specific race and nationality for exclusion – making it illegal for Chinese workers to come to America and for Chinese nationals already here ever to become citizens of the United States “The Chinese Exclusion Act,” a two-hour film, explores in riveting detail this little-known, yet deeply resonant and revealing episode in American history – one that sheds light on key aspects of the history of American civil liberties, immigration, C-3 and culture – during one of the most formative periods of U.S. history. “If there is a word that defines the Chinese American experience, and Asian American experience, it’s exclusion,” says Ling-chi Wang, Professors Emeritus at UC Berkeley in the film. The film is a deeply American story about immigration and national identity, civil rights, and human justice; about how we define who can be an American, and what being an American means. It examines the economic, cultural, social, legal, racial, and political dimensions of the law; the forces and events that gave rise to it; and the effect it had, and continues to have, on American culture and identity. “The 60 years of national exclusion, racialized ordinances, and hate crimes, is more important than ever to bear witness to,” said Stephen Gong, Executive Director of the Center for Asian American Media and Executive Producer of “The Chinese Exclusion Act.” “In the process of resisting the discriminatory laws, the Chinese community helped define, in the most positive ways, what American citizenship is, from Please see ‘Exclusion,’ C-5 Get the top local news stories delivered directly to your inbox with a new weekly email update from the Park Record!
