This year, the 18th HCF will be held from April 24 to 26 during the same week as the 119th Boston Marathon, and the suspect of Marathon bombings may still be on trial.

  • Brief History of 9-Man Volleyball

    By 2013 North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament(NACIVT) Organizers

    In the late 1930′s, there was not much for young Chinese laundry workers to do anything else other than work. Just about ten years earlier, the Immigration Act of 1924 had effectively shut the door on all immigration from Asia to the United States declaring that all Asians were “not eligible” for citizenship. It then went on to state that persons not eligible for citizenship were barred from entering the United States. Since Asians were not eligible for citizenship, this meant that any Asian who was not a citizen of the United States at the time the law was passed could not leave the country if he or she ever wished to return later.
