We have decided to make a website about the history of Chinatown in Seattle and its immigrants. This topic is important because Chinese and other Asian immigrants had a significant impact on Seattle. They contributed a lot, yet received no recognition but instead harsh words and racism, they were treated as second class citizens and were shunned away from society and put into little areas of Seattle: Chinatown. This area had a lot of history to it, yet it is always overlooked. So we want to educate people about the rich history of Chinatown/ International District and its immigrants. The way they were treated by the rest of society through racist laws passed by government. |
