Extractions: Now, more than half a decade later, the nation's oldest Asian-American civil rights group will apologize in a public ceremony that has been more than two years in the making. The ceremony, which is open to the public, will take place May 11 in San Francisco, Calif., and will include remarks by resisters. The ceremony marks a watershed moment for the Japanese American community, which many believe was shattered by Executive Order 9066. Frank Abe, director and producer of the PBS documentary "Conscience and the Constitution", which details the story of the draft resisters, points out that these men were almost written out of history.

Extractions: Civil Rights for African, Latino , and Asian Americans Civil Rights News "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness ..." - from the Declaration of Independence. Our founding fathers laid the groundwork more than 200 years ago. Unfortunately, these "unalienable Rights" did not apply to African Americans (slavery was still legal at the time) or women (who could not vote). African, Hispanic, and Asian Americans have spent the last two centuries fighting for equality in the eyes of the law, law enforcement, courts, and public opinion. The black Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s galvanized the nation and led to sweeping legislation - the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Today, a new Civil Rights movement is underway to continue the work of its predecessor.

http://www.thirdthursdays.org/upcomingSeptember2002.html

Extractions: This month, most media coverage and collective thoughts will center on the one year anniversary of 9/11, the lives lost, and dear friends and families affected. At the same time, post 9/11 has brought civil rights to the forefront as more and more communities' civil rights are restricted by legislation such as the Patriot Act. But even before, the API communities civil rights have always been severely impacted. From the Dr. Wen Ho Lee's espionage charge to the threat of job loss for Filipino airport screeners, each case has revealed the constant struggle facing Asian Americans to protect civil rights that are often narrowed out of national security concerns and nationalistic tendencies. This month's TT looks at the state of Asian American civil rights in the post 9/11 era. Speakers include: Victor Hwang

Extractions: The following is a short excerpt from a 233 page U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report (Feb. 1992), "Civil Rights Issues Facing Asian Americans in the 1990's". An excellent reference! In 1986 the Commission drew attention to the problem of bigotry and violence against Asian Americans [1]. Our investigation shows that bigotry and violence against Asian Americans remains a serious national problem today. This report has recounted numerous incidents of bigotry and violence against Asian Americans. These incidents include the vicious bias-related murders of Vincent Chin, Jim Loo, Navroze Mody, and Hung Truong, and the recent massacre of Southeast Asian schoolchildren in Sacramento California; attacks on Asian American homes and places of worship; racially motivated boycotts against Asian-owned businesses; racial harassment of Asian Americans on college campuses; and racial slurs made by public figures, one of whom was a candidate for governor. The incidents reported here are by no means exhaustive: for every incident reported here, there are many more that have not been reported.
