A good source on the earthquake and Paper Sons, which is currently redlinked and unsources, would be an NPR story that aired over the weekend of the Executive Director of the Angel Island (something Wong or Huang). Scarykitty (talk) 21:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Tell a story
The facts are in there, but it's a bit confused for a quick into to Chinese American history. I'd be looking for something like "The chinese came to Gold Mountain to get rich in the mines and work on the railroads leaving their families at home", and "they set up businesses as laundries and restaurants as they were shut out of jobs by white labor unions" and then "after severe immigrations restrictions of 50 a year, students came to the US in the 1950s", "1965 brought more immigration from more parts of China such as Taiwan", 1980s brought model minority, Vincent Chin" blah blah blah. I just put in the first mention of Chinaman. Bachcell (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
