This video segment taken from Austin Revealed: Pioneers from the East, chronicles the journey from China taken by the Wong family in the early 1900s—first to Mexico, where Chinese labor helped build the railroad system. After Pancho Villa crossed into US territory, many Chinese became support personnel for U.S. General Pershing's Army, and were allowed to remain in the United States after the battles. The Wongs first established a grocery business in San Antonio, then one son tried to settle in Corpus Christi, but encountered resistance. He settled in Austin, opening a grocery store and raising a family that continues several generations later.
