Have you ever heard of Wong Kim Ark? He was an Asian-American who paved the way for birthright citizenship for millions of Americans. Although he is a significant part of our American history, not many know of him. Wong Kim Ark so bravely stood up to the government to fight for his citizenship. It was ruled that any child born in the United States, regardless of race or parents’ citizenship status, is an American citizen. We have Wong Kim Art to thank for that. The Father of Birthright Citizenship should be recognized in our American history classes and books. In this class, students will learn all about how the courageous Wong Kim Ark defined birthright citizenship in the United States. Students will understand how xenophobia and discrimination played a big role in the denial of citizenship for Asian Americans. I will talk to students about the 14 amendment and how Wong Kim Ark used this as a way to fight for this citizenship. Students will learn more about the supreme court case, the UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK. This was one of the most important supreme court cases about birthright citizenship that would later be used in more cases around America. Had it not been for Wong Kim Ark , millions of Americans would've ran into difficulties obtaining their birthright citizenship in the United States. By the end of class, students will know about the man who paved the way for other U.S Citizens. Don't forget, Asian American history is AMERICAN history and we should learn about the incredible Asian Americans who helped make America a better country for all people.

As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, Asian American history, Native American history, American Figures, racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being bias. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges which heavily focused on African, Asian, and Native American studies.
