I'm redirecting my artist interest from one Catherine Opie to Marlon Riggs.

_TOC_

I plan to add information about who inspired Marlon since he had no one who truly understood him in his early years as a teen and young adult. I'd also like to explore his family dynamics such as what religious beliefs did his family hold? And does he believe in any particular form of reglion now.

My article is on the SF Chinatown bubonic plague of the 1900-1904. I would like to contribute some relevant information about the people of Chinatown as I feel that this article is lacking significant information relating to the people of Chinatown pre and or post the bubonic plague epidemic of the early 1900s. Perhaps adding a new title heading will initiate more relevant inquiries on the people of Chinatown pre and post the plague...__ angel

==My Draft==The San Francisco plague of 1900–1904 was an epidemic of bubonic plague centered on San Francisco's Chinatown. It was the first plague epidemic in the continental United States.[1] The epidemic was recognized by medical authorities in March 1900, but its existence was denied for more than two years by Henry Gage, the Governor of California. His denial was based on business reasons: the wish to keep the reputations of San Francisco and California clean and to prevent the loss of revenue from trade stopped by quarantine. The failure to act quickly may have allowed the disease to establish itself among local animal populations.[2] Federal authorities worked to build a case to prove that there was a major medical health problem, and they isolated the affected area. Proof that an epidemic was occurring served to undermine the credibility of Gage, and he lost the governorship in the 1902 elections. The new governor, George Pardee, quietly implemented a medical solution and the epidemic was stopped in 1904. There were 121 cases identified, including 119 deaths.[3][4]

This is a heading

-cultural racism exist in the minds' of landlords who rented out their property to Chinese tenants in the Chinatown district during the early era of Chinese migrants in the 1900s.http://www.sfsu.edu/news/prsrelea/fy12/034.http://www.pbs.org/kqed/chinatown/resourceguide/story.html === Angel

The social climate affecting the Chinese community was volatile and gave way for the Chinese Exclusion Acts of 1905 in the case of the United Sates vs Ju Toy by then governor Chester Arthur. http://www.history.com/topics/chinese-exclusion-act - angel 

= 12/5/2017 : My contribution to the San Francisco Chinatown Plague of 1990-1904 article: Widespread racism towards Chinese immigrants was socially accepted during the initial time of the Chinatown plague in the early 1900s. Standard social rights and privileges were oftentimes denied to the Chinese people, as view in the way American landlords would refuse to maintain their own property when renting to Chinese immigrants.  https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/plague-fear-and-politics-san-franciscos-chinatown [25] History of Chinese Americans. The living conditions in the Chinatown community reflected the social norms and racial inequalities during that time for Chinese immigrants. Housing for the majority of the Chinatown Chinese immigrants were not fit nor adequate for human living, but with scare housing options and America landlords unwilling to provide and treat them fairly, the Chinese immigrant were left to live in insufficient housing. https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/plague-fear-and-politics-san-franciscos-chinatown [27].
