Kanta CHANDRA
1910 from Delhi, India
After the death of her parents, thirteen-year-old Kanta ran away to America with her four siblings in order to stay together as a family. Suspected of having tuberculosis, they were detained on Angel Island for a few days. When she looked out the window of her barracks and saw San Francisco, Kanta thought, “So close but, so far.”
