Erika Lee & Judy Yung: Immigration Lessons from Angel Island
From 1910-1940, Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco served as a processing and detention center for over 1 million people. But unlike Ellis Island, this station was designed to detain, interrogate, and exclude immigrants from Asia. Erika Lee and Judy Yung, authors of Angel Island, say the stationâs history reveals how U.S. immigration policies and bias played out in daily practices and decisions, with real consequences on lives and on the country itself. Presented by The Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company and Wing Luke Asian Museum. Series media sponsorship provided by Publicola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust, the RealNetworks Foundation and the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
