  • The Truth Behind California's Gold Rush
    A Golden Myth: The Truth Behind California's Gold Rush Eric Rapps McGill University 2 The California Gold Rush of 1848 was one of the most transformational events in American history. In terms of America’s demographics, California became one of the most attractive destinations for Chinese, French, and Latin American immigrants, in addition to the 250,000 American migrants who moved there in search of gold.1 The abundance of gold in California and the economic contribution that gold mining made to the American economy in the second half of the nineteenth century were the main reasons why California earned statehood after only three years as a territory.2 From a social history perspective, Californians developed an identity based on materialism because their sole motivation for moving out west had been to get rich off of gold—the ultimate symbol of wealth.3 However, popular romanticism of the Gold Rush overlooks the environmental impacts of the event. Not only did the hydraulic mining associated with the Gold Rush destroy some of California’s most important water sources, but the mining and dredging that went along with it led to the deforestation of significant portions of California’s landscape as well. While it seemed that America’s major corporations at the time were willing to sacrifice the environment for financial gain, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company played an important role in promoting environmental regulations. It was largely thanks to their activism that the federal government adopted legislation to preserve sites like Yosemite, Sequoia, and the Sierra National Forest, which successfully prevented mining companies from further damaging California’s landscape.

Hopkins is an important opportunity to recognize the pervasive role of law in oppressive treatment of Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is also a good opportunity for the Supreme Court to reflect onfour important lessons gleaned from Yick Wo. First, the Court should never lend justification to the evil of class discrimination, even if it has to decline to rule in a case. Second, where there is persistent discrimination against a minority group, the Court must be similarly persistent in fighting it.

  • Pioneers in the Fight for the Inclusion of Chinese Students in American Legal Education and Legal Profession
    02-Chen.docx (Do Not Delete) 11/22/201511:45 AM Pioneers in the Fight for the Inclusion of Chinese Students in American Legal Education and Legal Profession Li Chen † In 1878, the first Chinese student, Sit Ming Cook, sought entry into an American law school and was rejected because of his race. Chang Hong Yen, the second Chinese law student, was more fortunate. In 1884, Chang journeyed to New York City to embark on his legal education at Columbia Law School. A former Chinese Government Scholar, Chang had nine years of preparatory and collegiate education in the United States. In June 1886, after two years of full-time study, Chang became the first Chinese person to graduate from an American law school. Unfortunately, his race became a formidable barrier for him to gain admission to the New York bar. By dint of resourcefulness and determination, Chang fearlessly fought against racial discrimination for inclusion in legal profession. In May, 1888, two years after graduating from Columbia Law School, Chang successfully overcame all hurdles and became the first Chinese to be admitted to practice law in America. Two years later, Chang relocated to California in order to practice law among the Chinese community. When he sought admission to the California bar, the California Supreme Court denied his admission because of his race, finally admitting him posthumously 125 years later. Chang's aspiration was again thwarted by his race. Sit and Chang's courageous, yet largely unknown and untold struggles have paved the way for early Chinese Americans to achieve improved successes in the legal field since the early part of 20th century.
