Diversity and Inclusion
Chinese exclusion Act
On May 6, 1882, President Chester A. Arthur signed into law the Chinese Exclusion Act. The first major law restricting voluntary immigration to the U.S., the act banned all immigrants from China for 10 years, prohibited Chinese immigrants from becoming American citizens, and restricted the entry and re-entry of Chinese nationals.
Japanese Internment
American citizens of Japanese origin were interned in camps during world War Two.

Contact us to present our Power Point presentation outlining our journey to understand DEIJ.

What is it?

Why is it important?

How do we “do” it?

We have some reckoning to do – with 400 years of slavery and more years than that when we consider the relocation and genocide of Native Americans. We recall how Asian-Americans have been treated throughout our history and the shameful internment of the Japanese-Americans during WWII.

Our presentation outlines this history, encourages us to understand the systems in which we live, points to resources for further learning, and defines the many terms that we need to know. We also address some ways that we can be agents of change.

We’re happy to delivery this timely one-hour presentation in person or via zoom. For further information send an email to cshadle@mac.com, or call 858-450-5343.
