The Chinese at the Hawaii Wharf in 1899
A letter from August 9 1899 questions race discrimination at the Hawaii wharf during departures to China. The writer recalls being denied entry while white friends could access the gate and cites the US equality claim that all men are created equal. He challenges the government’s stance on race and universal liberty.
