About this listen
U.S. v Wong Kim Ark is the foundational case that started Birthright citizenship - defining who can participate in the American Dream. More than 125 years of caselaw later, and the United States still stands as a melting pot of multi-culturalism.
With the Trump administration attempting to overturn Birthright citizenship, it's time to talk about Wong Kim's story. This is a tale of xenophobia, civil war reconstruction, and the distant triumph of ideals over fear. Explore this incredible story with us, and check out the sources below to dive even deeper.
Oral arguments before the Supreme Court are scheduled on May 15th, 2025.
