April 03, 2003 Has being bi-cultural been an advantage in your workplace? Yes No Japanese Civil Rights Group Apologizes To WWII Draft Resisters By Chan Cho ©Asian Diversity W hen President Roosevelt mandated the internment of 110,000 Japanese Americans during World War II, 315 Japanese Americans decided to protest the executive order by resisting the war draft. At the time, the draft resisters were denounced by leaders in the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). Saburo Kido, then president of JACL, said in 1944, 'The group definitely should be charged with sedition, especially the leaders.' 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 organization should've made the apology long ago," said John Tadashi, JACL's national director. "Many of these men are in their 80s now. The time has come to put this behind us." 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.

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.

Volume 16, Number 9 • October 1999 Primary Source Media Unveils Civil Rights CD-ROM Primary Source Media, part of the Gale Group, has announced the release of Civil Rights in the United States, a CD-ROM that offers students insights into the origins and current state of American civil rights. The title is the 13th CD-ROM in the critically acclaimed historical research series, American Journey: History in Your Hands. The online version of the title was expected to be published at the end of September. Like previous American Journey titles, Civil Rights in the United States features a wealth of rare primary source materials organized around thematic essays, according to the company. Hyperlinks, timelines, maps, picture albums, content lists, and flexible full-text searches facilitate access to hundreds of documents and images. “Civil Rights in the United States provides students, librarians, and educators with unique materials to trace the development of the world we live in today,” said David Lucas, president and CEO of Primary Source Media. “This outstanding collection of primary records encourages student inquiry into the complex issues and emotions surrounding this subject and gives students a broader understanding of the origins and current state of American civil rights.” The CD offers a panoramic view of the history of civil rights in America. Primary source materials provide insights into a variety of rights, focusing on such topics as free speech, freedom of the press, secrecy and obscenity laws, the freedom of association, freedom of religion and the separation of church and state, right to privacy, the rights of the accused and convicted, the right to vote, and equal rights for African Americans, women, Native Americans, and immigrants. The collection also offers a glimpse at disputed rights, from abortion and gun control to gay rights and the death penalty, and new rights issues, from the right to die to animal, environmental, and children’s rights.

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.

NTIA Hate Speech Initiative U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Report 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! Bigotry and Violence Against Asian Americans 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.
