Kansas repeals long standing alien land law
Kansas will no longer enforce a decades old statute discriminating against Asians as of July 1. Governor Bill Graves signed the repeal of a 1925 law later amended in 1933 that barred Asian immigrants from inheriting property, a provision tied to the era of restricted citizenship. The repeal follows advocacy by the Alien Land Law Project and ties to broader national history of alien land laws.
