I Am an American
2026
701 Grant Street, SF CA
In collaboration with Vogue TDK (Norman Chuck) and funded by the Chinese Historical Society of America.
The mural, titled “I am an American,” elevates the story of Wong Kim Ark and his fight for citizenship. It depicts a portrait of Wong surrounded by images of historic Chinese immigrants from the 1800s and early depictions of San Francisco’s Chinatown and the San Francisco Bay. The mural located at the corner of Sacramento Street and Grant Avenue includes historic representations of the members of the Six Companies CCBA, the organization that helped pay for Wong’s legal representation during his historic court cases in the late 1800s.
