‘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.

Teaching about Japanese-American Internment Gary Mukai September 2000 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.

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

The Hollywood icon was swept into office in part on his vow to repeal Cedillo's original measure, which former Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites) had signed into law.
