改路名容易影响交通(需要2个名字同时用过渡一下),但是剧场名字可以极快改。

Geary Act - Chinese Exclusion Act

Thomas J. Geary was a California Representative who played a significant role in the anti-Chinese movement in the late 19th century.

In 1879, Geary introduced a bill in the California State Legislature that aimed to prohibit Chinese immigrants from working in the state's mines. The bill passed both houses of the legislature, but Governor William Irwin vetoed it.

The following year, Geary was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he continued his efforts to limit Chinese immigration. In 1882, Geary co-sponsored the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur. The Act suspended Chinese immigration for 10 years and prohibited Chinese immigrants already in the country from becoming naturalized citizens.

Geary's advocacy for anti-Chinese legislation continued even after the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act. He introduced several bills aimed at further restricting Chinese immigration, including a bill in 1894 that sought to impose a literacy test on Chinese immigrants.

Geary's actions and rhetoric were part of a larger anti-Chinese movement that emerged in the United States in the late 19th century. This movement was fueled by anti-Asian sentiment and a belief that Chinese immigrants were taking jobs away from American workers. The Chinese Exclusion Act and other anti-Chinese laws that Geary supported had a significant impact on Chinese immigrants and their descendants, limiting their ability to immigrate to and participate fully in American society for decades to come.
