The Golden Age of Hong Kong’s Music

A poem about the constant burning of California's (and elsewhere's) Chinatowns. From Antioch (1876) to San Jose (1887) to Santa Ana (1906), Chinatown has been under siege on a horrific, repeating cycle. I want to showcase how upset I was that this history was not addressed nor "apologized" for until nearly a century and a half later. I really want more people to be aware of Chinatown's history and how it's been so impacted by white supremacy in the governing/laws that allowed this destruction to occur.
