One Hundred Years: History of the Chinese in America
''One Hundred Years: History of the Chinese in America'' is a 1952 mural painting by James Leong.
==Background and development==
H.K. Wong, a prominent businessman in San Francisco Chinatown, asked Leong to create a mural that would be representative of Chinese American history. This mural was to be placed at the then newly elected Ping Yuen Housing Project, the first federally funded housing project in Chinatown at Pacific Avenue and Stockton Street. At the time in the early 1950s, American troops were stationed in North Korea fighting against Chinese forces, and China turned into a Communist nation. Because of this, Asian Americans were constantly under scrutiny and looked at as suspect, dangerous, and communist. The San Francisco Chinatown community recognized the hypersensitivity of this time, and they believed that the mural would help create a better understanding of Chinese Americans and help outreach to a broader public who in turn could become educated about the Chinese American diaspora. Leong completed the mural in 1952.〔James Leong, ''Confronting My Roots'', San Francisco: Valencia Printing, 2006, pg. 7-8, ISBN 1-885864-30-2〕
