The 1882 Foundation is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to uncovering, preserving, and sharing the history and significance of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Through initiatives such as Talk Story Events, they collect oral histories and preserve story sites, encouraging individuals to share their stories. They also strive to strengthen public education by promoting the inclusion of Chinese and Asian American experiences in core curricula and organizing teacher workshops. Additionally, the foundation collaborates with educators and public-private agencies through their annual 1882 Symposium, building connections and collective capabilities. Their projects and programming focus on educational, cultural, and public history programs that highlight the contributions of the Chinese and broader Asian American community in shaping and enriching the American nation.
