Ying On Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Background
The Ying On Labor & Merchant Association (Chinese:英端工商會) or simply Ying On Association is a historical Chinese American association that was established during the 1800s for the purpose of assisting members of the Chinese community when they were threatened by unfair and discriminatory business practices; for organizing social gathering places for the Chinese; and at times, for organizing funeral parlors for the dead who had no kin or family in America.
The Ying On Association still exists today.
