‘THIS ISN’T FAIR’ The New Face of Civil Rights By Kristi Nelson His last words have been immortalized by Asian-Americans across the country. Shortly before Vincent Chin faded into unconsciousness after a Detroit auto worker had already assumed Chin was Japanese, blamed him for problems in the U.S. auto industry, then bludgeoned him with a baseball bat he managed to say, "This isn't fair." The 27-year-old Chinese man died four days later; one day before he was to be married. His attackers, two white men, were never sent to jail. Chin’s death in 1982 at the hands of Ronald Ebens and Ebens’ stepson, who held Chin down during the beating, was a defining moment for Asian-Americans everywhere. The event marks what many believe to be the beginning of a new era of civil rights for Asian-Americans, the point where various Asian ethnic groups and organizations began to work together to respond to racism and fight for civil rights. "It had reverberations throughout the country," said Aryani Ong, a staff lawyer for the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium, based in Washington, D.C. "That's what mobilized Asian Pacific Americans, they realized they needed to engage in community organizing and gain political clout through access to elected office." Since then, the movement has been growing. Although not as visible to mainstream America as groups led by other minority groups, Asian-American civil rights and advocacy groups fight for many of the same ideals: protection against police brutality, access to quality education, fair wages, equal treatment under the law and adequate hate crime legislation.

National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) 2005 Northeast Regional Conference and 20th Anniversary Banquet of the Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts (AALAM) Volunteer law students helped with the registration of conference participants. Highlights from the morning and afternoon sessions included panel discussions on Diversity Initiatives at Law Firms and Corporations, Civil Rights in Consideration of Korematsu and the Hamdi/Padilla/Gauntanamo Cases, and Strategies for Success in the Legal Profession. Career Coach and Author Jane Hyun was on-hand to sign her new book Breaking the Bamboo Ceil. A cocktail/networking reception sponsored by Dewars bridged the time between the conference and evening banquet. The day concluded with the 20th Anniversary Banquet. WCVB-TV political reporter Janet Wu served as the Banquet Emcee. In her welcoming remarks, she mentioned the growth in the numbers of Asian American lawyers in the Massachusetts Bar but expressed regret that there has been none in the Legislature during her coverage of the State House and the Massachusetts Courts over the past twenty years. Banquet attendees were also greeted by ABA President-Elect Michael Greco. President Greco looked forward to working with his counterparts at NAPABA on minority bar issues and raising Asian American representation at law firms and in government. AALAM Board Members Jeff Hsi and Stephen Chow presented the AALAM Scholarship to Karlo Ng, a Wellesley College graduate and first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law. She has been active in the Asian-American community with service to both the Harry H. Dow Memorial Legal Assistance Fund and the Chinese Progressive Association. She tearfully acknowledged her parents in appreciation of their efforts to make her pursuit of a legal career possible.

The Week in Brief Oh and Lee call for action at Law School talk Students packed into the Yale Law School Auditorium on Mon., Apr. 6 to hear Angela Oh and Bill Lann Lee, SY '71, two of the nation's most prominent Asian-American civil rights activists, speak on the topic "Beyond Black and White: Asian-Americans and Civil Rights." The event was part of an ongoing celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. LIZ OLINER/YH Civil rights activist and attorney Angela Oh Oh, one of seven advisors on the President's Initiative on Race, strayed somewhat off-topic in a fiery speech that canvassed her work on the President's commission and her experiences in Los Angeles. Ultimately, though, her message was one of action. "The terrible thing is that we get caught up in politics and campaigns that make you think that what your gut is telling you is off the mark," she explained. "Be introspective. Think about what it is that is at the core of your values." Lee, the acting attorney general for civil rights and a former NAACP lawyer, focused more on Asian-American civil rights, relating how his experiences as the son of poor laundry operators drove him to pursue a career fighting for equal opportunity. "What I remember as a child is discrimination and exclusion," Lee reflected. "I never thought of civil rights in black and white terms. I've learned that civil rights laws are designed for people on the marginsand it doesn't matter how they got there." Lee then switched gears and related "horrifying" cases of discrimination that he has encountered working for the Justice Deparment.

Japan Digest National Clearinghouse for U.S.-Japan Studies Indiana University Teaching about Japanese-American Internment Gary Mukai September 2000 http://www.indiana.edu/~japan/Digests/internment.html Although many state and national U.S. history standards include the Japanese-American internment experience, more often than not it is a topic that is treated without nuance. Because of spatial considerations, many U.S. history textbooks condense this historical episode into no more than a few pages, at best. As a result, textbooks are forced to emphasize certain historical themes and to abandon others. This digest offers suggestions on the teaching of Japanese-American internment as a supplement to current textbook offerings on the subject. Introduction Most American students are probably at least somewhat familiar with the African-American struggle for equal rights. However, students may not be at all familiar with the Asian-American struggle for equal rights. Asian-American civil rights have also been challenged and/or denied throughout the history of Asians in the United States. For example, the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882, barred further immigration from China. This was an unprecedented act directed at a specific ethnic group. Furthermore, although Asian immigrants have made significant contributions to U.S. society since the mid-nineteenth century, they were denied naturalization rights until 1952.

A Racist Attack, a Town Plagued http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/15/national/15HATE.html October 15, 2000 By TIMOTHY EGAN OCEAN SHORES, Wash., Oct. 12 On the Fourth of July weekend last summer, Minh Duc Hong and his twin brother, Hung, drove to this seaside resort town two hours southwest of Seattle, hoping to see fireworks. They stopped for food at a gas station here, where they were spotted by a group of white men waving a Confederate flag. The men used an ethnic slur, and shouted "go home" and "white power" as they waved the flag and pounded on the gas station windows, the police and prosecutors here say. The Hong brothers fled to their parked car, where one of the white men, Christopher Kinison, 20, punched Hung Hong in the face, the authorities said. When the Hongs fought back, Minh Hong used a kitchen knife from the gas station to stab Mr. Kinison, killing him, witnesses told the police. When it was over, the police arrested the Hong brothers and characterized the fight as an all-too-typical late- night fracas that got out of hand. Minh Hong was charged with

PREVIEW Watch a preview of OF CIVIL WRONGS AND RIGHTS. Fast connection Slow connection Audio Only SYNOPSIS A National Asian-American Telecommunications Association (NAATA) Co-presentation. MAKING THE FILM: AN INTERVIEW WITH ERIC PAUL FOURNIER Discover what inspired filmmaker Eric Paul Fournier to tell Fred Korematsu's story. "Fred was a Japanese American, born and raised in California and here he was very much your average young American; he had a girlfriend, he had just gotten a convertible, he was working as a welder. He had no political background, no sort of lofty constitutional ideals necessarily. So when the government asked him, or told him, that he must report to, essentially, an internment camp or a concentration camp, he just intrinsically knew that it was wrong. He felt it in his bones and he didn't see why he should have to comply with this. This did not jive with the America that he had been brought up to believe that he was living in. One of the things that I tried to show in the film was the irony, if you will, of Fred being incarcerated for his actions by one president and 40 years later given the Presidential Medal of Freedom award by another president for the very same actions. I think that says volumes about the growth of America, about the changes in America, the changes in the face of America.

Roberts: "Congress has the authority to ban discrimination" Sounding more like Judge Rehnquist than Judge Scalia, Chief Justice nominee John Roberts said yesterday that Congress has the authority to pass laws barring discrimination based on race, gender and disability. Defending his record on minority issues, he also stated that he has argued cases in favor of affirmative action. "Yes, I was in an administration that was opposed to quotas," Roberts said. "Opposition to quotas is not the same thing as opposition to affirmative action." And distancing himself from arguments he made during his time with the Reagan administration, Roberts said, "I would, of course, confront that issue as a judge and not as a staff attorney for an administration with a position." (Read Roberts on Affirmative Action on the Race Relations site.)
