Support the 1871 Memorial Project
On the night of October 24, 1871, a bloodthirsty mob rampaged through the center of Los Angeles. They killed at least 18 people, among them a cigar maker, a musician, laundrymen, cooks, and a prominent doctor. One was a boy no older than 15.
They were beaten, stabbed, mutilated, shot, and hanged from makeshift gallows. They were targeted for one reason: They were Chinese. And few Americans have ever heard of them.
The 1871 Memorial Project believes that remembering this moment in history is crucial. We are raising funds to support the creation of a network of linked memorials that will honor the memory of these lost souls and weave the lessons of the past into the present.
