San Francisco's Chinatown was the first in the U.S. Join Yvonne Wolf, intercultural consultant, to learn about the neighborhood's dramatic history.

The history of any Chinatown in the US is rich with immigration legal difficulties, Chinese food history, illicit opium and gambling activities, and unconventional family ties. The history of San Francisco's Chinatown embodies all these dramatic elements and more. Educator Yvonne Wolf will give a brief history of San Francisco Chinatown starting with how Chinese immigrants were impelled to leave China in mid-1800s, how they skirted around The Chinese Exclusion Act after 1882, and what they contributed to the greater American cultural history. Join Yvonne in taking a journey back in time to Old Gold Mountain.
