Event Description
President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Page Act into law in 1875. This law prohibited Chinese women from immigrating to the United States. It was the first federal immigration restriction to be enacted into law following the Civil War. In this program, Historian and Curator Nick Sacco will discuss the history of Chinese immigration to the United States, debates over immigration during Grant's presidency, and Grant's own evolution in his thinking towards Chinese people during his world tour.
