For my project I am thinking of doing Chinatown. I mainly want to focus on the migration of the Chinese into the neighborhood. It was started in 1840, when a man named Ah Ken, the first credited Chinese resident, moved in. I might want to look into the effects of immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act on the population.  I also might want to look into the gentrification. Asian Americans as a whole are associated with higher income, so I might want to examine the history of the income in Chinatown.
