The link to the "online" version of the "Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion" exhibit is here: [http://chineseamerican.nyhistory.org/]. Persons affected by the act are invited to contribute their stories online. The first photo in this post is taken from Anna May Wong's application to re-enter the U.S. during the Chinese Exclusion era. You may see a photo of her application here: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anna_May_Wong#/media/File:Reentry.jpg]<br /><br />LTKidLit Celebrates Women's History Monthhttp://kidlitwhm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537197995327351093.post-49178544982961138872015-03-12T13:45:48.630-07:002015-03-12T13:45:48.630-07:00Anna Mae Wong, the First Dragon Lady of American M...Anna Mae Wong, the First Dragon Lady of American Motion Pictures. She held her own against Marlene Dietrich and starred in many fine films of that era.. Her photo was used on the banner for the current exhibit "The Chinese Exclusion Act" held at The New York Historical Society. This exhibit will run till April 15 I believe. A fine exhibit to view if you find it of interest to you. Check to see where the exhibit will be offered after NYC.Evannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537197995327351093.post-40071044250233806072015-03-11T05:54:39.512-07:002015-03-11T05:54:39.512-07:00Great post, Mia.
