This virtual visit to the Chinese Historical Society of America museum in San Francisco’s Chinatown explores an exhibition that raises the question, “what does it mean to be an American?”

Chinese American Exclusion/Inclusion chronicles the complex history of Chinese people in America, including the history of Chinese immigration and the life of Chinese Americans.

The exhibition interprets the Chinese American experience as a key part of American history, and examines from the 188 Chinese Exclusion Act, to contemporary xenophobia in America.
