United States v. Wong Kim Ark :: 169 U.S. 649 (March 28, 1898) established that the Constitutional guarantee that all persons born in the United States are citizens applied equally to Chinese Americans. Supported by CCBA in the 1800s, Wong Kim Ark’s case is representative of Chinese American leadership in civil rights for all Americans.
