US designates Summit Camp as first National Historic Landmark honoring Chinese American railroad workers.
The US Department of the Interior has designated Summit Camp in California as the first National Historic Landmark linked to Chinese American history.
The camp, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, was a significant site for Chinese laborers who played a key role in building the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s.
Despite facing harsh conditions and discrimination, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, these workers contributed to the nation's westward expansion.
The landmark status recognizes their resilience and historical impact.
