They likely numbered just under 100, said Lucy Meinhardt, an Antioch Historical Society Museum board member. They worked in farms, canneries and mines. They helped build river levees and established a Chinatown where the city’s downtown now stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 19th century, Chinese people across California endured discrimination such as wage disparity, bans on property ownership and sundown laws that barred them from going outside after dark. Those working and living around Antioch were no different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1871, a massive fire wiped out several blocks of Antioch’s Chinatown. The townspeople decided that a Chinese laundry needed to be torn down to stop the blaze. Then, in 1876, local newspapers reported that another blaze was deliberately started to drive six Chinese women who were allegedly prostitutes out of their homes. A Buddhist/Tao temple also perished in the fire, Meinhardt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It became popular local lore that Antioch was a “sundown town,” and Chinese residents used tunnels to skirt the rules. Meinhardt said there is no record of such a law, “but it had to have been a practice if it existed. I still suspect it existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting involved with the Antioch Historical Society and becoming committee chair for its Chinese History Project, Hans Ho said he had no idea a Chinatown once existed there. Chinese people were undoubtedly treated as second-class citizens, Ho said, who emigrated from Hong Kong in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regardless of which narrative you believe in, it is still an atrocity because these people were expelled or persecuted without due process of law, and their houses were burned down,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11975584,news_11973503,news_11953107,news_11974445\"]He was also one of the representatives from the Chinese American community to receive Thorpe’s apology, an act that moved him to tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was shamelessly crying,” said Ho, who became visibly choked up just recalling that moment. “It’s the most obvious means of reconciliation that I’ve ever encountered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the city of more than 111,000 is 25% white, while Asians make up 12%. Hispanic and Black residents make up 35% and 20% of the population, respectively. Making progress on Asian American representation in public spaces remains an uphill struggle. Plans for a public memorial paying tribute to early Chinese settlers are at a standstill after a consultant recommended the city invest in more research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even creating a space for some materials related to Chinese residents at the Antioch Historical Society Museum has gotten pushback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(One board member) said that they wanted this to be an ‘American’ museum,” said Dwayne Eubanks, a past president of the historical society, who is African American. “I took umbrage to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He held up a picture of his father in his Army uniform and told the man: “This is an American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Dwayne Eubanks, former president, Antioch Historical Society Museum\"]‘We do not want this to happen to our grandkids.

Attendees, including the three residents, walked meditatively with Buddhist monks, nuns and lay leaders around the city block where Antioch’s Chinatown stood 150 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ho said such events, while educational, should guard against portraying communities of color as victims and instead spotlight stories of Asian American accomplishments in the face of stark adversity. Somewhat agreeing with his friend, Eubanks pointed out that “healing is a two-way street” and that those who hate must first understand and acknowledge what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then they have the opportunity to accept the medicine because hate is a sickness,” he said. “We do not want this to happen to our grandkids.

They likely numbered just under 100, said Lucy Meinhardt, an Antioch Historical Society Museum board member. They worked in farms, canneries and mines. They helped build river levees and established a Chinatown where the city’s downtown now stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 19th century, Chinese people across California endured discrimination such as wage disparity, bans on property ownership and sundown laws that barred them from going outside after dark. Those working and living around Antioch were no different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1871, a massive fire wiped out several blocks of Antioch’s Chinatown. The townspeople decided that a Chinese laundry needed to be torn down to stop the blaze. Then, in 1876, local newspapers reported that another blaze was deliberately started to drive six Chinese women who were allegedly prostitutes out of their homes. A Buddhist/Tao temple also perished in the fire, Meinhardt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It became popular local lore that Antioch was a “sundown town,” and Chinese residents used tunnels to skirt the rules.

I still suspect it existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting involved with the Antioch Historical Society and becoming committee chair for its Chinese History Project, Hans Ho said he had no idea a Chinatown once existed there. Chinese people were undoubtedly treated as second-class citizens, Ho said, who emigrated from Hong Kong in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regardless of which narrative you believe in, it is still an atrocity because these people were expelled or persecuted without due process of law, and their houses were burned down,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"news_11975584,news_11973503,news_11953107,news_11974445"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>He was also one of the representatives from the Chinese American community to receive Thorpe’s apology, an act that moved him to tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was shamelessly crying,” said Ho, who became visibly choked up just recalling that moment. “It’s the most obvious means of reconciliation that I’ve ever encountered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the city of more than 111,000 is 25% white, while Asians make up 12%.

But three years later, the faculty member was the subject of similar allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In four cases, campuses reached settlement agreements that contained conditions like suspension without pay, voluntary resignation, training, or a letter of reprimand in exchange for monetary awards or removal of disciplinary documents from a personnel file.

The legacy of slavery [has] made ZIP codes proxies for race.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le and Gore-Mann pointed out how racism in the tech industry can be traced back to redlining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Redlining lives on in the data that determines which neighborhoods get good access to the internet or new services and technologies,” Le said. “This is why the reparations work is so important. It gives us a chance to change the data points that give rise to data-driven discrimination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without proper oversight, systems can embed the history of discrimination and redlining into decisions, Le added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need race-aware data so we can test these systems that control access to economic opportunity for bias and discrimination,” he said. “The housing discrimination and the redlining of the past is still quite well and alive today.
