My partner and I have decided to write a separate Wikipedia article covering the 1906 San Francisco School Board decision leading to the segregation of Japanese students into all oriental schools. While this topic is mentioned briefly in three different Wikipedia articles, we feel that the significance of this event isn't covered in enough detail. The three wikipedia articles that mention this topic are listed below along with brief critiques.
