Appearing in over sixty movies throughout her career, Anna May Wong was the first Chinese American Hollywood star. Wong rose to stardom in a time when Chinese Americans were unjustly perceived as foreigners in American society. Her cinematic work and public persona were pivotal in beginning to shatter those stereotypes. Wong persevered, proudly showcasing her identity as Chinese-American, all while challenging discriminatory laws that hindered Chinese immigration and citizenship in the U.S. during the 1920s.

Wong’s career undoubtedly opened doors for generations of actors to come! #AnnaMayWong #AAPI
