Asian Americans To Form New Association For Civil Rights
Americans are forming a national civil rights organization that People, which guardsthe rights of blacks are being decided without Asian American participation
http://www-tech.mit.edu/V117/N33/association.33w.html

Extractions: For the first time in their 150-year history in the United States, Asian Americans are forming a national civil rights organization that they hope will provide them with a unified voice and the meaningful political participation that has eluded people of Asian heritage. The movement is designed to provide the United States' fastest growing group with political clout like that of well-established associations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which guards the rights of blacks, and the Anti-Defamation League, which is vigilant in defense of American Jews. Formation of the National Asian Pacific American Network Council has been spurred by the campaign fund-raising controversy which has occupied center stage in national politics and the front pages of major newspapers since last fall. "This crisis has given us huge momentum," Francey Lim Youngberg, executive director of the Washington-D.C.-based Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Institute, told community leaders in Los Angeles last week. "This is the year to do it." In the past year, the relentless news coverage and political battling over the fund-raising scandal focused attention not only on central figures such as John Huang but also on the Asian community's longstanding frustration with its inability to secure political access and power.

Extractions: New Justice Department Report Criticizes Bungled FBI Investigation of Wen Ho Lee Washington, DC - Four leading Asian American civil rights organizations called for an independent investigation by the General Accounting Office (GAO) to examine accusations that racial profiling has been a factor in the effort to discover possible espionage at nuclear research facilities. The National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium and its affiliates, the Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco, the Asian American Legal Defense Fund in New York and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center in Los Angeles, demanded Congress call for an independent investigation by the GAO into the Department of Energy's (DOE) and the FBI's investigations of Asian American scientists, especially in light of the case against Dr. Wen Ho Lee.

Extractions: ©2002 San Francisco Chronicle URL: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/06/18/DD244605.DTL LILY CHIN NEVER did find justice for her son. She passed away 10 days ago at age 82, just before the 20th anniversary of his murder. Vincent Chin, a 27-year-old Chinese American, died on June 23, 1982, at the hands of two disgruntled Detroit autoworkers who mistook him for Japanese. One held him down. The other bashed his skull with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat, not once but four times. They were never punished, despite two federal civil rights trials. A subsequent civil suit won a $1 million judgment against Ronald Ebens, who wielded the bat, but he made good his boast that Chin's mother would never see the money. At the time, I was working for the old Herald-Examiner in Los Angeles and even on the diverse West Coast, I could see tensions ratcheting up over Japan's seemingly invincible prosperity and America's economic decline in the early 1980s. I remember feeling revulsion and fear at the killing. Had I crossed their paths in Detroit, maybe Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz, would have hunted me down instead of Chin. Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong looks.

Press Releases By Congresswoman Pelosi
If confirmed, Lee would be the first Asian American to head the JusticeDepartment s civil rights Division. Bill Lann Lee s confirmation
http://www.house.gov/pelosi/prlee.htm

Extractions: President Clinton's Nominee to be Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) today joined with leaders of the Congressional Asian-Pacific Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to support the nomination of Bill Lann Lee to be Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. "The Republican leadership is trying to silence a champion of civil rights because of his opposition to Proposition 209 in California, the anti-affirmative action law. Lee has worked tirelessly to ensure that discrimination in every form is eliminated from our legal and social landscape. His opposition to Prop. 209 is the action of a man with a long and distinguished career as a civil rights attorney," Pelosi said. If confirmed, Lee would be the first Asian American to head the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Bill Lann Lee's confirmation would broaden civil rights enforcement. It would be an acknowledgment of our nation's Asian American community," Pelosi said. "The GOP is playing politics with civil rights," Pelosi said. "It is time to end the games and confirm the right nominee for our time." Lee is presently the western regional counsel of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.

Extractions: December 11-17, 1997 File Photo Then and Now : More than a year ago advocates first voiced concerns about the effects of the campaign-finance controversy on Asian Americans. Last week, community representatives formally submitted their complaints in a briefing with the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Pictured at the Oct. 22, 1996, news conference in Washington, D.C., are: Hoyt Zia, an attorney with the Department of Commerce; Francey Lim Youngberg, executive director of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Institute; Jocelyn Hong co-chair of the National Conference of Korean American Leaders; and Daphne Kwok, executive director of the Organization of Chinese Americans. Advocates brief Civil Rights Commission on effects of campaign-finance investigation BY STACY LAVILLA A year after investigations into the alleged campaign-finance abuses, a coalition of Asian Americans got their first chance to express what they view as the damaging aftermath of the investigations. At a briefing held before the U.S. Commisssion on Civil Rights last week, more than a dozen individuals and representatives from Asian American advocacy groups said that their community was discriminated against, used as scapegoats, and stereotyped by members of Congress, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, as well as numerous public officials and the media.

http://www.asianweek.com/070596/OCA.html

Extractions: July 5-11, 1996 A report from this year's OCA convention by Bill Wong From its humble beginnings 23 years ago, the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) has made considerable strides in being one of the more visible and active Asian American civil rights groups. Other such groups have been around a lot longer, like the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA) and the Japanese American Citizens League, but at the moment OCA has become better known in the national political community. San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) is only a little older than OCA and also has a relatively high national political visibility. None has a monopoly on Asian American political and cultural interests, and no one should expect any one organization to have such an encompassing reach. Nonetheless, because OCAâs leaders view this as an important political year and because of Californiaâs crucial role in the national political scene, the Washington, D.C.-based OCA held its 18th annual convention in San Francisco last weekend, hosted by five OCA chapters: San Francisco, the East Bay, Sacramento, San Mateo County, and Silicon Valley. Some 400 people registered for the convention and hundreds more drifted in and out of various sessions. About 500 attended the Friday night dinner saluting pioneers, and almost 800 squeezed into Saturday nightâs dinner honoring community service luminaries. (Full disclosure requires me to reveal that I was among the "pioneer" honorees on Friday night, but more on that later.)

Extractions: (D-CA) Washington, DC, May 12, 2004 Special thanks to Federal Express for sponsoring this wonderful luncheon. Across our nation in this month of May, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated with community festivals and educational activities. This year's theme "Freedom for All—A Nation We Call Our Own," is especially timely as our civil liberties and civil rights are under assault. This event hosted by the Asia Society recognizes both the importance of APA Heritage Month and reminds us of the many challenges facing Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders today. Our nation has come a long way since the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II through the Civil Rights movement. However, since the attacks of 9/11, President Bush and some Members of Congress have used it as an opportunity to promote legislation that has had a detrimental impact upon civil our liberties and civil rights. Unfortunately, much of this legislation disproportionately affects Asian Americans.

Extractions: Volume 14, Number 3 In This Issue... to Table of Contents A nation of immigrants moves to address the language needs of individuals with limited English proficiency While only recently the subject of front-page news, the Title VI roots of the obligation to address the needs of persons with limited English proficiency reach back more than twenty-five years to Lau v. Nichol s, 414 U.S. 563 (1974). In the waning days of the first summer of the century, President Clinton took steps to draw attention to, and build upon, this page from civil rights history. On August 11, 2000, the President issued Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency." At the same time, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a Policy Guidance Document, "Enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – National Origin Discrimination Against Persons with Limited English Proficiency" (LEP Guidance). The purpose of the Executive Order and the LEP Guidance is to eliminate to the maximum extent possible limited English proficiency as an artificial barrier to full and meaningful participation by beneficiaries in all federally assisted and federally conducted programs and activities. Prior to the President’s action, LEP obligations under Title VI were limited to recipients of Federal financial assistance.

This is a facinating area of law and contemporary politics, particularly because Asian Americans are, as Ancheta notes, treated as either black or white depending on the context."
