What happened when Lee Yick appealed his conviction for running an illegal laundry in San Francisco to the U.S. Supreme Court?

History
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
6 0
C. The Supreme Court decided that authorities had unfairly singled him out because of his race. This was because Lee Yick had worked in a laundromat for twenty years and it was illegal at the time that laundromats were to be built in wooden rooms. However, ninety-five percent of laundromats were in wooden complexes and only some of them were Chinese-owned, while others were owned by other races. However, Lee Yick was singled out and the Supreme Court ruled that although the law said it was race-blind, it in fact was judging him based on his race.
