Restoration
After the history that has taken place on Angel Island, tearing it down was not something that should even be thought of. Declaring the detention center a historical site was preserving history and letting others in for a glimpse of the past. Therefore saving it was the only option. Later, a museum was set up in the building for viewers to see how the detainees used to live. The center is now surrounded by a beautiful park that many pass by on a daily basis without even knowing what had gone on there half a century ago. Tours are welcome for people who wants to take a magnify glass into the shameful Chinese immigration history, where they will learn appreciation for their current status in society.
