User:Marie Rowley

Hello, My name is Marie K. Rowley (My friends call me "M"). I'll put more on here when I find the time. I have a live journal that one could see here [1]. I am a member of U.S. Wikipedians' Notice Board and the Fun Department (yay). According to the Official "Are you a Wikipediholic" test I have a score of 60 which is really low :(

Here's something I stole from Francs2000

Picture of the day

The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden
