The No Place Project

Between 1850 and 1910 at least 250 incidents of mob and group violence against Chinese immigrants were known to have happened in the western U.S. Over the past five years I've been documenting the exact locations where some of these events took place.

 

This map shows the major sites I've found so far. I'll continue to add sites whenever I am able to document the specific locations.

 

Note: Locations on this map are approximate. Some of the distances between cities have been exaggerated in order to prevent overlapping names.
