On Sunday, the Chinese community of Greater Seattle will hold its fifth annual march to remember the Seattle Chinese Expulsion of 1886.
The march will begin with a short program at Hing Hay Park at 10 a.m., and will be followed by a march to the waterfront, where 350 of Seattle’s Chinese residents were forced to board a ship for San Francisco, where they were then deported to China.
The event serves as a remembrance of the expulsion and a celebration of the many contributions Chinese Americans have made to the region and throughout the country.
