 The Remarkable Life of Wong Chin Foo |
 |
|
|
|
 |
Wong ran the Chinese Equal Rights League from New York's Bible House - an ironic choice, given his anti-Christian sentiments. |
|
Wong sometimes feared for his life when he preached against gambling, opium smoking and prostitution, enterprises often under the control of his fellow Chinese. |
 |
 |
In 1869-70, Wong attended Lewisburg Academy, now Pennsylvania's Bucknell University. The college's alumni magazine ran a cover story on him in the spring of 2013. |
|
Two of Wong Chin Foo's great-great grandchildren, James Wong and Wang Jian, attended a book talk at the Chinese Historical Society in San Francisco. |
