Dear Friends,
Since Congresswomen Judy Chu and Judy Biggert introduced a resolution in the US House of Representatives to express the regret for the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, the Senate also introduced a similar bill. Last week, the US Senate has unanimously passed SR201, which expressed regret for the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and other subsequent laws that banned most Chinese immigrants from entering the United States and denied them the right of citizenship. These laws were eventually repealed in 1943 to strengthen the alliance between the United States and China during World War II. Until now, Congress had never formally acknowledged or expressed regret for the pain and suffering endured by the Chinese and other Asian immigrants and their American descendants as a result of the discriminatory laws. The passing of SR201 is a historic time for not just the Asian community, but for all of America as a whole. The American spirit is re-instilled in all of us. It is a victory of several generations of effort, and its success garners national attention. Xilin Association is honored to be part of it.
Thanks to Judy Biggert, our Congresswomen in District 13, for taking the leadership on this project in the House. We're grateful for the efforts from Senator Mark Kirk and Senator Duck Durbin in supporting SR201 in the US Senate. Now still have work to do to pass the house resolution before it goes to the desk of US President. Chicagoland will have its own effort to advocate this issue and promote the 1882 Project. Please attend a Roundtable Discussion event in Chicago which is cosponsored by Chinese American Service League, Coalition for Better Chinese American Community, OCA, Xilin Association and the 1882 Project. You can find more information regarding the Roundtable Discussion below. Let''''s work together to make the final victory come true!
David Tsand, Chairman
Xilin Association Board of Directors |
