AAJA (415) 346-2051, ext. 110 Asian American Journalists Association accepting nominations for Dr. Suzanne Ahn Award for Civil Rights and Social Justice for Asian Americans San Francisco- The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA), the nation's largest professional organization for Asian American journalists, today announced that it is accepting nominations of journalists for the 2004 Dr. Suzanne Ahn Award for Civil Rights and Social Justice for Asian Americans, which was established in 2002 to recognize excellence in coverage of Asian American civil rights or social justice. Any journalist, regardless of ethnicity or membership in AAJA, is eligible for the Ahn Award. A nominee's work must have been published in newspapers, news services, Web sites, magazines, books, or aired on radio or television between May 1, 2003 and April 30, 2004. Work published or broadcast in a language other than English must be accompanied with a translation. "In too many communities and newsrooms, there is the mistaken notion that Asian Americans have no connection to civil rights or social justice. The reality is quite contrary, but the stories often go missing," said Helen Zia, the 2003 award winner and a nationally recognized journalist and former executive editor of Ms. Magazine. Her book Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People was submitted for the award.

The Commission is committed to the revitalization of a progressive civil rights agenda at the national level. Its work is grounded in the belief that such an agenda benefits the entire country, not just particular interest groups. We must continue to struggle together to fight bias and invidious discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity in education, employment, and housing, to promote political and economic empowerment and to guarantee equal treatment in the administration of justice.

These organizations specifically cited that "internal reviews are being conducted in both the Justice Department and the FBI and that several Congressional hearings are being convened surrounding the case." Then these six organizations stated: "we believe that the public's confidence in government agencies to conduct fair and competent investigations has been undermined in the past year."

The Context New York is the most diverse city on the planet, home to people of every race, nationality, language group, religion, sex, and sexual orientation, and to some of the world's premiere human rights groups. There have been intense intergroup conflicts throughout the city's history, from the Draft Riots of 1863 to the Crown Heights riots of 1992. But more amazing is how well such varied peoples have gotten along for hundreds of years. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia created a Committee on Unity after some race riots in 1943, in order "to make New York City a place where people of all races and religions may work and live side by side in harmony and have mutual respect for each other, and where democracy is a living reality." Eventually, the city and state governments passed laws against discrimination and established agencies to enforce them. The Reporter James Wong writes frequently for the Village Voice.

EEO Professionals must be educated and trained to provide an excellent level of service to a diverse community. This requires that the Army EEO community be positioned strategically and operationally to interact appropriately to the various cultures, traditions and needs of the customer community. The daily contacts EEO professionals have with APA customers require additional education and training in the APA community’s history, aspirations and challenges and how those aspects differ from other EEO customers. This requires cross cultural communications training, publishing EEO complaint documents in APA languages and reaching out to APA college graduates and mentoring them into the Army workforce. Initiatives · Examine the professional efforts Asian American and Pacific Islanders at the mid and senior level pay grades. This is a critical area in that the ability of Asian and Pacific Islanders to self-actualize at the high grades has a broad impact. In keeping with the US Department of Justice Adarand guidelines, we will look at the promotion and award profile of each pay plan to determine further action items for our Affirmative Employment Program plan.

Back Essay 6 Civil Rights Movement African Americans also fought for their economic and political rights. In the 1920s, the Urban League had negotiations with industrial leaders to open up jobs to African Americans. The NAACP Detroit chapter sought to increase employment opportunities and political power for African Americans during 1940s. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was getting Blacks registered to vote during 1950s. In other words, this organization worked on maintaining Blacks' political power. However, the struggle against racial discrimination has not been over yet. Because, racial prejudices and discrimination still exist though they are more subtle. People might not strongly exclude Blacks from social activities or employment opportunities but some individuals might do or encourage others to do so indirectly. Increasing the awareness and understanding of equality and erase totally racial prejudice and discrimination are issues that African Americans have to deal with. Different from African American civil rights movement, Asian Americans' activities did not leave any legacies for people today. Their activities did not have strong impacts on the society and Asian American communities. African and Asian American both have fought against discrimination. Furthermore, they would continue to fight until they have equal economic, social, political rights as other people in American society. Especially, women have involved deeply in African American civil rights movements. They have proved that women not only can take care of their homes but they also can organize and manage political activities.

dd mission statement board of directors program for action membership services ... home: about jacl The History of the JACL The Japanese American Citizens League, the nation's oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization, was founded in 1929 to address issues of discrimination targeted specifically at persons of Japanese ancestry residing in the United States. In California, where the majority of Japanese Americans resided, there were over one hundred statutes in California that proscribed the limits of rights of anyone of Japanese ancestry. Organizations like the Grange Association and Sons of the Golden West exerted powerful influence on the state legislature and on Congress to limit participation and rights of Japanese Americans, and groups like the Japanese Exclusion League were established with the sole purpose of ridding the state of its Japanese population, even those who were American citizens by birth. Amidst this hostile environment, the JACL was established to fight for the civil rights primarily of Japanese Americans but also for the benefit of Chinese Americans and other peoples of color. Although still a small, California-based organization, the JACL was one of only a few organizations in the 1920s and 1930s willing to challenge the racist policies of the state and federal governments. With limited resources and virtually no experience in state or federal politics, the JACL nevertheless took it upon itself to set the course for civil rights for persons of Asian ancestry in the West Coast region of the United States as well as at the federal level by combating congressional legislation aimed at excluding the rights of Japanese Americans and Asian Americans.
