This law barred Chinese laborers from entering the country, only allowing Chinese students, teachers, travelers, merchants, and diplomats to still apply for admission. This also marked the start of required immigration documents that the Chinese were required to hold on to their person to avoid deportation.]]> 2020-10-22 20:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/854247544 Formation of the "Asian American" Movement brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867399674 The Asian American movement– which initially united Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino Americans, and then expanded to include Koreans, Southeast and South Asians, and Pacific Islanders– was driven largely by student activists radicalized by anti-Vietnam war and black power movements. Challenging stereotypes about Asian “passivity”, and rejecting the exoticism and racism of “oriental” labels, Asian American activists mobilized this new consciousness to demand an end to racist hiring practices, biased school curricula, demeaning media stereotypes, residential discrimination, and the gentrification of historically Asian American neighborhoods. ]]> 2020-10-27 19:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867399674 Organizing for Justice: Murder of Vincent Chin brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867422979 “The Vincent Chin case forced Asian Americans into the civil rights discourse,” Roland Hwang co-founder and former president of American Citizens for Justice told NBC News. “The Vincent Chin case transformed a biracial discussion on race relations to be a multiracial one. So the Vincent Chin case, along with other cases, each serve as a wakeup call to address anti-Asian bias and racial intolerance.”]]> 2020-10-27 20:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867422979 The Fight for Ethnic Studies brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867482217 The students’ perseverance prevailed and they achieved success. On March 3, 1969, UC Berkeley administrators agreed to launch the first Department of Ethnic Studies with SF State following three weeks later. These acts helped to inspire other universities to follow in their lead, bringing in a wave of ethic studies departments in universities across the U.S.]]> 2020-10-27 20:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867482217 The Fight for Ethnic Studies brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867538157 The Asian American Political Alliance along with the Third World Liberation Front organized the two longest student strikes in U.S. history. The strikes became impactful in “speaking truth to power” and gained much momentum — but not without repercussions. Soon after the strike began at SF State in November 1969, the police and national guard were sent in to disrupt the student protests. Several were beaten and bloodied, and arrests were made. The same violence also occurred at UC Berkeley where some students were beaten unconscious and incarcerated.]]> 2020-10-27 20:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867538157 Japanese Americans: A Community Grows, Despite Racism brownha2 https://padlet.com/brownha2/890uqphzi757q78g/wish/867554838 Soon after their arrival, Japanese Americans became the targets of severe and racially exclusive forms of discrimination, much of it originating in California. Beginning with organized labor, and including many of the same actors who had earlier agitated against Chinese immigrants, what would become known as the anti-Japanese movement was embraced by nearly all sectors of society in many Western states. Driven by pressure from Western states, the federal government negotiated the Gentlemen’s Agreement with Japan in 1907 and 1908, which stopped the further migration of Japanese laborers.

Much of the discrimination Japanese immigrants faced stemmed from federal laws prohibiting Japanese and other Asian immigrants from becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. In 1913, California passed the first alien land law, which prohibited “aliens ineligible for citizenship” from purchasing agricultural land.

(1) to acknowledge the terrible injustice of the internment of U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry and permanent residents during World War II;
(2) to apologize on behalf of the people of the United States for the internment of such citizens and permanent residents;
(3) to finance efforts to inform the public about the internments, in order to prevent anything similar from happening again;
(4) to provide compensation to those individuals of Japanese ancestry who were interned;"
