A history exhibit on the almost forgotten story of Chinese people in coastal Marin has long been a goal of the Bolinas Museum, but the current national conversations about anti-Asian racism led us to consider our coastal Marin story now. The San Francisco Bay Area has a dark history of anti-Chinese racism dating back to the Gold Rush, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that was not revoked until 1943, after China became our ally during World War II. Today, fueled by rhetoric linked to the pandemic, elderly Chinese, vilified, have been the victims of physical attacks that echo an attack on an elderly Chinese man on Bolinas Beach in 1878. Despite such history, the talents and accomplishments of Asian people have profoundly enriched the Bay Area’s culture and economy.
