Chinese Expulsion and Reconciliation Andrew Gomez talked about how Tacoma, Washington’s Chinese population was driven out of the city in 1885. Today, the Tacoma Chinese Reconciliation Park represents the city’s acknowledgment of the Chinese expulsion, and serves as a reminder of the city’s multicultural past, present and future.
