JAPANESE EXCLUSION 1906-1915
Japanese Exclusion in California, 1906-1915
by Abigail Markwyn and Allison Malcom
Level 3 game (what's that mean?) | When Local Racism has International Consequences In the wake of the 1906 earthquake, a progressively-minded San Francisco School Board votes to remove Japanese schoolchildren from their regular schools in order to send them to the segregated “Oriental School” in Chinatown. This event occurs against a backdrop of violent attacks on Japanese people in California. These actions raise the ire of Japan, whose Treaty with the United States protects Japanese citizens in the United States as equal to Americans. This is a Level 3 game that is still under development but has been approved by the Reacting Editorial Board (REB) for general use. A detailed explanation of the editorial process and game levels can be found on our REB Page. |
