50 Years of Wah Mei Workshop Series “華美五十周年” 工作坊 Panel 3: “50 Years after Lau v. Nichols” Panel Discussion
San Francisco boasts a community of over 150,000 Chinese-speaking residents. The city’s rich tapestry reflects California’s immigration history, shaped significantly by the influx of Cantonese and Taishanese immigrants since the Gold Rush era.

This linguistic transformation has sparked debates about the allocation of resources and funding within the community and where the future of language is.
