Few others (if any) can speak about the history of science and politics in both China and the US with as much fluency and authority as Zuoyue Wang. 🇨🇳 🇺🇲

I learned a lot from his Harvard S&T in Asia talk earlier today.

March 28, 1898: Wong Kim Ark Wins Citizenship Case The U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark.

www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/wo...

Here is a bit of history of how SCOTUS affirmed that people born in the USofA are citizens, regardless of their parents' status. As you can see the person who brought the case is Asian American.

In terms of #AsianAmerica though I don't think a book exists around how one ridiculously large Chinese family migrated to multiple parts of the US over many decades and how life was like as they settled. It would be a huge addition to Asian American historical lit/understandings.
