“Still, Black people are under-represented in the public service and hold lower-wage positions,” the government added.

Anti-Chinese fervor culminated in the 1892 Geary Act, which required every Chinese person in the U.S. to register with the government or be deported. Immigration restrictions began to ease only when China became an ally in World War II – showing how much the vagaries of the shifting geopolitical winds can blow back on people at home.One shortcoming of the book is that Luo devotes so many pages to documenting what was done to Chinese immigrants that there’s comparatively little time spent on what they did for themselves, on who they were as individuals beyond victimhood. A few compelling portraits do stand out: men like Yung Wing, an avid football player and Yale graduate who devoted his life to helping boys from China receive a Western education; Joseph Tape, who fought for his daughter’s right to enter public school in San Francisco; and Mamie Louise Leung of Los Angeles, the first Asian-American reporter to work at a major newspaper.

The fact that Chinese-Americans remained in the United States at all, despite widespread prejudice and the whole force of federal immigration law working to keep them out at every turn, speaks to the incredible tenacity of the community. One anecdote encapsulates this determined spirit: a Chinese coal miner, Lao Chung, was shot during an 1885 attack in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He survived and continued working for decades, the bullet still lodged in his back.Luo was a national writer at The Associated Press from 2001-03 but has not met the reviewer, who joined in 2022.HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Hartford venue that’s the part-time home of the storied UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams has a new name: PeoplesBank Arena.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont joined officials from the arena’s management company and PeoplesBank to announce a new naming rights deal Monday on the floor of what had been called the XL Center since 2007. Terms of the multi-year agreement were not released.“We chose to invest in this arena because we believe in Hartford,” said Thomas Senecal, CEO and chairman of PeoplesBank, based in Holyoke, Massachusetts. “We believe in the revitalization happening here, the momentum building downtown, the renewed energy in the business district, the arts, the restaurants, the culture. And of course, the sports.”

The UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams generally play half their home games in Hartford and the other half at Gampel Pavilion on the school’s Storrs campus. The men’s team has won six national championships, including in 2023 and 2024, and the women’s team has won a dozen, including this year’s title.

The UConn men’s hockey team also plays some games in Hartford, where the arena is home to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League.“If your goal is to blow things up, just say so,” Dilan Yesilgöz, leader of the right-wing People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, told reporters after the hour-long meeting.
