In the years following the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which community organization led the legal battles against discriminatory laws?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To tackle this question, I’ll evaluate each option in context of post-1882 Chinese Exclusion Act era legal battles.
Option 1: 'Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA)'. This is the correct choice. The CCBA, also known as the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, acted as a leading umbrella organization for Chinese communities in the United States and played a central role in coordinating legal defenses and political advocacy against discriminatory laws in the years following 1882.
Option 2: 'Taiping rebellion'. The Taiping Rebellion occurred in China from 1850 to 1864, a century earlier, and it was not an American community organization nor involved in U.S. legal battles about exclusion laws. It is an inappropriate time frame and context here.
Option 3: 'Asian American Political Alliance (AAPA)'. While the AAPA did contribute to Asian American civil rights advocacy, it was formed in the 1960s and is associated more with broader mid-20th-century activism, not the immediate post-1882 period’s legal challenges against discriminatory laws targeting Chinese immigrants.
Option 4: 'Tongmenghui'. The Tongmenghui was a revolutionary alliance (founded in 1905) that operated in China with anti-Qing objectives, not a U.S.-based community organization involved in legal battles within America after 1882.
In summary, the CCBA fits the historical role described—leading legal battles and organizing Chinese communities in the United States to contest discriminatory immigration and state laws following the 1882 act—while the other options refer to groups with different eras, geographies, or objectives.
