EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print captures a dark chapter in American history - an anti-Chinese mob incited by Denis Kearney in late 1800s San Francisco. The chaotic scene depicted on the vintage illustration transports us back to a time of deep-rooted prejudice and discrimination against Chinese immigrants. The streets of this bustling city, once known for its vibrant diversity, became the backdrop for acts of violence and lawlessness fueled by ignorance and fear. This image serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by those who were considered foreigners in their own land. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are confronted with the harsh reality that civil rights and human rights were not always guaranteed for all individuals residing within the United States. The Chinese-American community endured persecution during this era, facing hate crimes and racial riots that threatened their safety and well-being. In preserving this piece of art, we honor the resilience of Asian Americans who overcame adversity to contribute significantly to our nation's growth. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility to learn from past mistakes, fostering inclusivity rather than perpetuating discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Let us remember these lessons from history so that we may continue striving towards a future where every individual is treated with dignity and respect regardless of their background or origin.
