On December 17, 1943, the Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act of 1943, also known as the Magnuson Act, was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Hence, this year marks the 80th anniversary of repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
To commemorate this historic moment and celebrate the significant progress in equal rights for all Americans including Chinese/Asian Americans, we, the Initiating Committee along with 80 other prominent civic organizations, held a national conference to Commemorate the 80th anniversary of Repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act(CRCEA80) on December 5, 2003 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.
