Open to: Grades 7-12 Teachers, Social Studies, English, Humanities Teachers, other School support Staff, and Administrators
Opportunity at a Glance: In light of recent waves of pandemic-fueled Anti-Asian hate and violence that have swept the nation, join MOCA, the Railroad Readers Workshop, and Associate Professor Mark T. Johnson in reflecting on Chinese American resistance in the face of exclusion.  Together, we will do the following during this professional learning workshop: 

  • Explore the impact of discriminatory exclusion-era legislation and the legacy of the rallying cry “The Chinese Must Go!”;
  • Highlight the ways in which Chinese Americans resisted, protested, and defied these policies;
  • Tour MOCA’s exhibitions;
  • Unpack primary sources about the Chinese American experience; and
  • Participate in hands-on activities.
