Date & Time: 04/18/2009 [Saturday] 1 pm
Location: Chinese Culture Center, 750 Kearny Street, 3rd floor, San Francisco, CA, 94108,

Chinese Culture Center is proud to sponsor “Uncle Toisan.”

“Uncle Toisan” features the unique experience of a Chinese American immigrant to the United States. His eyewitness account bridges the historical relevance of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the modern post-civil rights movement, and the emergence of present-day Asian American consciousness.

Uncle Toisan enters the country as a 17 year old “paper son” (immigrants who purchased legal immigration status as a “paper son” of an American citizen), then perseveres through a two-month detention at Angel Island Immigration Station on the eve of its closing in 1939. Read More »
