      The events of the Tiananmen Protests (remembered as 6/4 as in June 4th, 1989 to most Chinese) are recalled and analyzed by a western reporter in Beijing at the time.

      The report includes history of the conflict, the role of students, and graphic details of how the Chinese government ended the protests. In the classroom, students could use this to learn more about Tiananmen and the job of journalists.

      The use of the term "embarassments" is interesting

      I think it is fascinating to read the language of this document; how they managed to couch discriminatory practices in such legalise
  • That the master of any vessel who shall knowingly bring within the United States on such vessel, and land or permit to be landed, any Chinese laborer, from any foreign port or place, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars for each and every such Chinese laborer so brought, and may be also imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year.
  • SEC. 14. That hereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship; and all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.

      This definition covers just about anyone
  • SEC. 15. That the words "Chinese laborers," whenever used in this act, shall be construed to mean both skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining.

    I was frustrated by my inability to find primary source documents on my last mini-lesson for the Conscription Act; however I was happy to stumble upon these in regards to this week's Takaki reading. PBS already provides a great wealth of resources to teachers - including lesson plans - and I couldn't resist posting this one. The rest of the site includes other primary source documents as well as images, all broken down over periods that correlate to episodes from their "The West" series.
