  9. CALIFORNIA APOLOGIZES TO CHINESE AMERICANS

    on july 17, the california legislature quietly approved a landmark bill to apologize to the state’s chinese-american community for racist laws enacted as far back as the mid–19th century gold rush, which attracted about 25,000 chinese from 1849 to 1852. the laws, some of which were not repealed until the 1940s, barred chinese from owning land or property, marrying whites, working in the public sector and testifying against whites in court. The new bill also recognizes the contributions chinese immigrants have made to the state, particularly their work on the transcontinental railroad.
