Take a look at these before and after photos captured during a recent Open House New York tour, expertly led by the delightful Taylor Zhou. The tour covered a range of fascinating topics, but one of the most interesting and often overlooked was the history and impact of the Chinese Exclusion Laws passed in 1882. These laws had a significant impact, dramatically limiting immigration from China and virtually eliminating any Chinese women from coming to the US. If you’re keen on learning more about this critical issue, be sure to check out the 1882 Foundation at (https://1882foundation.org/about-the-foundation/).
