EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in history at the Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco Bay, circa 1910. In this image titled "Chinese boys awaiting medical examinations" we witness a group of young Chinese immigrants patiently waiting their turn for examination by doctors. During this time, the West was experiencing an influx of immigrants from various parts of the world seeking new opportunities and better lives. However, these individuals were subjected to rigorous medical examinations upon arrival. This particular scene showcases the resilience and determination of these young boys as they navigate through the complexities of early American medicine. The photograph also sheds light on alternative forms of healthcare prevalent during that era. With traditional Chinese medicine being deeply rooted in their culture, it is fascinating to see how these immigrant children may have been introduced to Western medical practices. As we delve into this snapshot from the turn of the century, it serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by immigrants and their unwavering hope for a brighter future. The Angel Island immigration station stands as a symbol not only for entry into America but also for perseverance against adversity. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into history and prompts us to reflect on our shared past while appreciating how far we have come since those days at Angel Island.
