Meanwhile, the US #SupremeCourt heard arguments yesterday against the denial of birthright citizenship. A "Chinese" #WongKimArk started this back in 1898 and he was mentioned several times by both sides in the case. "Chinese birth tourism" is also being blamed by President Trump. #JustSaying

Honoring Sandra Wong in SF today is a powerful link to our history. 🇺🇸 Her great-grandfather, Wong Kim Ark, secured birthright citizenship for everyone in the 1898 Supreme Court case.

Seeing that legacy alive in the Bay Area reminds us how deep our roots go. 🌉✨ #WongKimArk #SFHistory #Legacy

#BirthrightCitizenship is part of the Constitution via the #14thAmendment & was affirmed by #SCOTUS in 1898 & Congress in 1952 so it's hard to believe that even this right-wing #SupremeCourt would cave into #DonaldTrump on this issue & overturn #WongKimArk...

And in 1898 my great-grandfather argued #WongKimArk @ SCOTUS, w/ #BirthrightCitizenship as a requirement of the 14th Amendment. He prevailed despite the xenophobia of the era. Now, in the face of Trump's threats & deportations, we must insist on that same argument: oldestvocation.com/2024/01/08/f...

🧵2/ This isn't the first time the lawyers have argued Elk v. Wilkins, holding a Ho-Chunk man wasn't a birthright citizen, means allegiance or consent or something else. They tried it in 1898 in #WongKimArk. #SCOTUS rejected the analogy:

Part of an in-progress series I'm working on. This 40" x 30" is titled Wong Kim Ark v. United States (1898), a court case which established birthright citizenship. For me it's important to reflect on current events in my #paintings!
