This is SO Cool! Like 'citizen science' 'citizen history'. I sure hope the public middle school California history curriculum has been updated and corrected.
Wonder if a project to 'document the local communities and blocks, where the Union Pacific Chinese workers settled' could be done by other local 'citizen historians' and high school/middle school students? Mountain View renamed an elementary - that had been named for an "anti-Asian" White school personality (Huff). He publicly participated in the late 1800's efforts that led to the Exclusion Act. So, our community "excluded Huff" from school names (an elementary student! found the first recent indicators of this 'naming problem'.)
good 'contextual' reporting
