Chinese American Citizens Alliance - Houston Lodge
Throughout its history, the Alliance has vigorously fought against every attempt in this country to disfranchise citizens of Chinese ancestry, whether by segregating Chinese children in the public schools, or by applying regulations discriminatorily against Chinese businesses. Many community projects, such as the San Francisco Chinatown Playground and a Chinatown police substation, have been due to the efforts and influence of Alliance members. Efforts in San Francisco Chinatown have been particularly strong . and have included the following: the Mei Lun Yuen Housing project, the Chinese Recreational Center, the Ping Yuen Housing project, the Gateway to Chinatown project at Grant Avenue and Bush Street, the Chinese Hospital, the North East Medical Services, and the Chinatown branch of the Employment Service. Working with parents to fight the forced busing of Chinese American children in San Francisco, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance was able to get the school district to finally address their concerns and work more closely with the Chinatown community.
