​In 1910, Ida Delancey lost custody of her niece because her neighbors complained to child services that Ida, a white woman living in Brooklyn, was known to move in the same circles as Chinese-Americans. Elizabeth explores why this was a cause to have the child removed and how fears had increased after a 1909 murder of a young woman in New York City.

A thoroughly researched and well-organized story with excellent contextualizing of the social values of the early 19th century that adversely affected Chinese not only in NYC but in most parts of the country. The articulation is engaging.

Thank you so much, John! I very much hoped that this episode would give insight into the reality for Chinese-Americans in the early 20th century.
