#WongKimArk
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
Mr. Wong Kim Ark’s story should be taught in all American schools.

@caasanfrancisco.bsky.social and @stopaapihate.org are on the steps of the Supreme Court today with Norman Wong, descendant of #WongKimArk. #BirthrightCitizenship is at stake, and Trump's unconstitutional EO hurts all of us.

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...

1898. It was my great-grandfather – attorney J. Hubley Ashton – who argued for birthright citizenship and won #WongKimArk #BirthrightCitizenship at SCOTUS that year. I wrote about him here: oldestvocation.com/2024/01/08/f...
Doing a quote post here now that I've had a listen - a great discussion! Lots of details on the book's structure. Really great discussion of #habeascorpus cases (SO TIMELY) and also the aftermath of the #wongkimark case #14thamendment

the 14th Amendment to the U.S. #Constitution, all children born on U.S. soil are automatically granted U.S. citizenship
#SupremeCourt affirmed this right in a case brought by #WongKimArk, a SF-born, #Chinese #AAPIHeritageMonth
#American who had been denied his re-entry rights after a trip abroad.
Maureen and Norman Wong on the Assembly Floor
Thank you to @votealexlee.bsky.social for inviting Norman Wong, descendant of #WongKimArk, to the Assembly Floor. Wong Kim Ark's courage affirmed #birthrightcitizenship for all children regardless of parents' immigration status. Today, Norman & his wife, Maureen, are fighting to protect this right!
Norman Wong has become a persuasive & righteous spokesperson for #BirthrightCitizenship. In a smaller way I too fairly recently discovered a family connection to the issue—because it was my great-grandfather J. Hubley Ashton who argued #WongKimArk at SCOTUS in 1898 oldestvocation.com/2024/01/08/f...

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...

On KTSF tonight defending #birthrightcitizenship bc this Constitutional right means so much to Chinese Americans, incl me. @caasanfrancisco.bsky.social is sponsoring AJR 5, which affirms CA’s commitment to birthright citizenship & honors #WongKimArk. The Assembly votes on AJR 5 on Monday- tune in!

My mom, historian Clarissa Atkinson @oldestvocation.bsky.social, is the great-granddaughter of J. Hubley Ashton, who defended #WongKimArk @ SCOTUS in 1898. She has recently been in touch w/Norman Wong, who is himself the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark & active in defending #BirthrightCitizenship!
🧵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:

Appreciate the chance to talk to @axios.com San Francisco about #WongKimArk & why #birthrightcitizenship matters to everyone. @caasanfrancisco.bsky.social is sponsoring #AJR5, a statewide resolution to affirm birthright citizenship in the 14th Amdt & honor Wong Kim Ark! www.axios.com/local/san-fr...

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!
