JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST "NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM" FUNDRAISER

JOIN US FOR OUR MONTHLY PROGRAM at the North Fork Grange Hall in Junction City on April 11, 2026, to learn about the U.S. law that banned Chinese immigration.

Passed in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first major U.S. law restricting immigration, explicitly banning Chinese laborers from entering the country for ten years due to racial animosity and economic competition.

Dero Forslund will talk about what led up to the exclusion act, and the effect it had after it was enacted, particularly the role California played in it.

We hope you'll join us at 2:00 p.m. at the North Fork Grange Hall in Junction City for our potluck, with the program following at 3:00 p.m. You don’t need to be a member to attend.
