San Francisco Chinatown’s First Demonstration, 1968. Adopting the tactics of the civil rig
San Francisco Chinatown’s First Demonstration, 1968. Adopting the tactics of the civil rights movement, 200 demonstrators marched through Chinatown to a rally at Portsmouth Square. They criticized the Chinatown establishment for promoting tourism instead of resolving social problems in the community, and they called for reforms in the areas of education, employment, health, housing, youth, senior citizens, and immigration.
