Chinese railway workers were essential in connecting Portland to San Francisco via rail. Facing discrimination and dangerous working conditions, they made an indelible contribution to our nation’s transportation system. For decades, this contribution was largely unacknowledged. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
