Ng Poon Chew, seen here in 1925, was born in China in 1866, came to California in 1880, and was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1892. He was one of the founders of the first Chinese daily newspaper in the United States, Chung Sai Yat Po, using it and other public forums to speak out for Chinese Americans. A frequent national speaker in eloquent English, he was called the âChinese Mark Twain,â for his quick-witted humor. He moved to Oakland in 1906 and lived here until his death in 1931.
