62. Congressman Jim McDermott - Speeches - Celebrating Asian Pacific American Herita May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and a time when every to a richand ethnically diverse cultural weave of Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, http://www.house.gov/mcdermott/sp050504.shtml

2005 Speeches Celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month House of Representatives - May 03, 2005 Extension of Remarks Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the contributions made by Asian Pacific Americans. May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and a time when every American should acknowledge the important role of Asian Pacific Americans in building our great nation. The 7th Congressional District in Washington State, which I represent, is home to more than 78,000 Asian Americans, the largest minority group in the district comprising over 13% of the population. Today, Seattle is home to a rich and ethnically diverse cultural weave of Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, Vietnamese, Pacific Islanders and other Asian Americans. The 1880 U.S. Census records the first resident of Japanese descent in the state of Washington. Over the next 150 years, Asian Americans contributed to our state and nation in many ways. In 1963, Wing Luke became the first Chinese American elected to the Seattle City Council, and today a museum is named in his honor. There were other triumphs: Ruby Chow was the first Chinese American woman elected locally and Gary Locke was the first Chinese American elected Governor. Many Asian Americans serve today in the Washington State Legislature, other local elected offices, key leadership roles in civic organizations, business and industry. Asian American role models come from all walks of life. Like other ethnic populations, Asian Americans had to persevere against prejudice, racial injustice and discrimination. When they immigrated, they worked in the mines and Alaskan canneries, logged the forests, were the first non-Native fishermen, and farmed the land. Up until World War II, Japanese Americans supplied nearly three-quarters of western Washington's fruits and vegetables.

Book Nook Volume 1, No. 3 (Spring 1997) The Wing Luke Asian Museum Charlene Mano Click an image to read its caption. Wing Luke, the namesake of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, was one of the first Asian Americans elected to public office in the continental U.S. A Seattle City Council person of Chinese descent from 1962 until 1965, Luke died at age 40 in an airplane crash. In an era of civil rights activism and optimism for a just society, the popular, well spoken Luke embodied the ideals of cooperation and understanding that we continue to strive for as a museum and as a nation. The mission of the Wing Luke Asian Museum is to educate the public about the contributions, history, and issues facing Asian Pacific American (APA) communities. To achieve this goal, the Museum serves as a vehicle for over 26 different APA groups in Washington state to present their stories through the creation of community-based and community-curated exhibitions. On February 19, 1992, fifty years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the forced relocation of 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (two-thirds of whom were Americans by birthright), the Wing Luke Asian Museum opened a ground breaking exhibit on the 100 year history of Japanese Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Conceived, developed and installed by over 100 individuals from the Japanese American community, this exhibit resulted from months of planning, research and conferring among Museum staff and committee members who spanned three generations.

Prevalence of Cigarette Use Among 14 Racial/Ethnic Populations - United States, 19992001 The 1998 Surgeon General's report, Tobacco Use Among U.S. Racial/Ethnic Minority Groups , addressed diverse tobacco-control needs of the four primary U.S. racial/ethnic minority populations: non-Hispanic blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs), Asians/Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics ( ). However, data on these populations do not describe differences in tobacco-use prevalence among subsets of these populations. To assess the prevalence of cigarette smoking among persons aged 12 years among 14* racial/ethnic populations in the United States, CDC analyzed self-reported data collected during 19992001 from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults aged 18 years ranged from 40.4% for AI/ANs to 12.3% for the Chinese population, and the prevalence among youths aged 1217 years ranged from 27.9% for AI/ANs to 5.2% for the Japanese population. Implementing tobacco-control programs that include culturally appropriate interventions can help reduce tobacco use among racial/ethnic populations. NSDUH is an annual household survey that collects information on drug use and abuse from a nationally representative sample of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged

The term "Asian American" is such a broad one that there seems to be no clear consensus as to exactly which ethnic groups should be included in this term. Asian Americans have been defined as those with Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Thai and a host of other ethnic backgrounds. We have designed this WebPage feature in an effort to share information and pay tribute to those of Asian American ancestry for their contributions to mine health and safety. Because it is impossible to cover such a large subject in the space permitted, we have made a decision to concentrate on the contributions of Chinese miners in the gold fields of the American West. In future installments, we would like to feature other Asian American groups and would appreciate any information that you might have to share on this subject. Back to Top www.msha.gov

THE 2000 census, on which the Census Bureau started issuing reports in March and April of 2001, reflected, in its structure and its results, the two enduring themes of American racial and ethnic diversity, present since the origins of American society in the English colonies of the Atlantic coast: first, the continued presence of what appears to be an almost permanent lower caste composed of the black race; and second, the ongoing process of immigration of races and peoples from all quarters of the globe, who seem, within a few generations, to merge into a common American people.

"Holding my queue grown longer, American cowlicks growing out on my once smooth head. I carry candidate President Grover Cleveland, and his vice president on my chest. He gave us justice at Rock Springs.We honor him, though we cannot vote." - Chinese Pioneer Man We see as well the role of political opportunism in the way that anti-Chinese sentiment infused the highest levels of government, as California Governor George C. Perkins proclaimed March 4, 1880, a legal state holiday for anti-Chinese demonstrations. The program will show how 30 years of unrelenting anti-Chinese sentiment culminated in the U.S. Congress passing the unprecedented Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, which halted further immigration of virtually all Chinese as well as other "Asiatics" to whom the same law was applied in succession: Japanese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Koreans. The Exclusion Act also prevented Asians already residing in the U.S., including American-born offspring, from becoming naturalized citizens. "The Chinese Exclusion Act...is the hinge on which all American immigration policy turned. Prior to the Exclusion Act there had been no significant restrictions of any kind on any immigration to the United States. There was no such thing as an illegal immigrant. After 1882...there are successive restrictions placed on all immigrants."

Pha Since the Second World War millions of Asians and Pacific Islanders have emigrated to the United States of America. By "Asians and Pacific Islanders" are meant people who themselves or whose ancestors have immigrated from various countries of Asia and the Pacific islands comprising Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. They include principally the Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Asian Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese, Hmoungs, Laotians, Cambodians, Hawaians, Samoans, and Guamanians. Their presence has profound and extensive implications for every facet of life in both the American society and the American Catholic Church. The Presence of Asians as Challenges and Opportunities In the 1990 census, the population of Asians and Pacific Islanders was counted at about 7.3 million, or 2.9 percent of the 250 million total U.S. population. This number represents more than a doubling of 3.5 million Asian Americans in 1980. Further, it is projected that by the middle of the twenty-first century, ten percent of the U.S. population will be Asian, a huge increase from barely three percent in 1990. Among Asian-Americans, the largest number of Catholics is found among Filipinos, Vietnamese, and Koreans.

You have full access to this document courtesy of The University of Chicago The Architecture of Race in American Immigration Law: A Reexamination of the Immigration Act of 1924 Mae M. Ngai On February 4, 1929, Dr. Joseph A. Hill presented a plan for immigration quotas based on national origin to the United States Senate immigration committee. Hill was the chief statistician of the Census Bureau and chairman of the Quota Board, a committee under the departments of State, Commerce, and Labor. Congress had mandated the board to allocate the quotas under the Immigration Act of 1924. That law restricted immigration into the United States to 150,000 a year based on quotas, which were to be allotted to countries in the same proportion that the American people traced their origins to those countries, through immigration or the immigration of their forebears. This was the third time in as many years that Hill had submitted a plan to Congress, and again members of Congress interrogated him as to the accuracy of the quotas. Hill's professional authority as one of the nation's leading demographers rested on a thirty-year tenure at the Census Bureau and was manifest in his patrician appearance. But determining the national origins quotas was arguably the most difficult challenge of his career.

Marjorie Kagawa-Singer, Ph.D., and Nadereh Pourat, Ph.D., of the University of California at Los Angeles, found lack of insurance, low income and lack of a usual source of medical care had a bigger negative impact on screening rates for Asian-American and Pacific Islander women compared with white women facing the same problems. The findings suggest that these women may be more vulnerable to structural and cultural barriers to cancer screening efforts. Asian-American and Pacific Islander women had significantly lower rates of screening than is recommended by the Healthy People 2000 target objectives, which set screening goals for both Pap smear and mammography. "To reach the Healthy People 2000 objectives, targeted efforts are needed to increase cancer screening among [Asian American and Pacific Islander] women overall and specific subgroups in particular," the researchers write.
