In 1895, Wong Kim Ark returned by steamship to San Francisco, the city where he was born, and was denied entry. The Supreme Court case that followed shaped the constitutional meaning of birthright citizenship.
With birthright citizenship again before the Supreme Court, ...@stanfordracialjustice students recently helped bring Wong's story to life through a San Francisco public-history project joining law, art, and community memory.
Working with Hoang Pham, director of education and opportunity at the center, Stanford Law students Nini Tufon, Nkemjika Emenike, Ayomide Oloyede, and Tarina Ahuja created a public-facing case study to accompany sculptor Alicia N.
