The plaque reads..
Chinese in America..
The mural is a pictorial representation which traces the history of Chinese Americans in the United States. In the 1800's out first immigrants greatly contributed to the growth of our nation, labouring under very adverse conditions to help build the railroad from West to east. the perseverance, determination, resiliency and hard work ethics, sustained these early immigrants through half century of exclusion, ridicule and discrimination. They endured as new arrivals brought to America their great agricultural skills and introduced American to Eastern Culture and many new exotic foods and art. Eventually, they became entrepreneurs, owing laundries, restaurants and grocery stores.
Today, the new generation combines their traditional Chinese Culture with Modern Western Concepts to establish themselves in mainstream America working alongside with people of all ethnic cultures in the great nation of ours. Now Chinese Americans can be seen making his/her contributions in all walks of life including Sciences, Medicine, Business, Art, Education and yes, even Politics. We take great pride in their progress from Common Laborer to Business Executive, Student to Nobel prize Winners, Precinct Captain to U.S.Senator. We hope that this mural will further challenge our future generations to even greater achievements.
