Monday, April 10, 2000 Activist discusses race relations, struggle for civil rights in U.S. SPEAKER: Boggs challenges group to take stand against hate crimes, focus on larger scope of problems By Timothy Kudo Daily Bruin Staff A group of people lined up at the Faculty Center on Friday to hear civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs speak, but instead they ended up doing most of the talking. Boggs directed the discussion that forced the audience to come up with their own conclusions about the state of race relations in America, and the future of the civil rights struggle. Boggs, an Asian American who has fought alongside African Americans for civil rights, came to speak at the invitation of the Asian American Studies Center and Amerasia Journal. "The civil rights struggle, which was a vanguard to the black community, has become a rear guard," Boggs said in her initial speech. "The most devastating thing that has happened to the black people is that we have gotten into a war over racism. "You have, in the black community, a tremendous amount of despair and hopelessness because you have people saying, 'We failed.'" Boggs said one of the problems with civil rights activism today is that racial groups tend to focus only on their problems, rather than on the problems facing all races and society as a whole.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak before you today. The collection of data on race and ethnicity is essential for creating sound public policies, ensuring the most efficient use of resources and addressing the needs of diverse communities. State and local public health departments have a legitimate interest and a responsibility in protecting and promoting the health of all people. Racial or ethnic data that is collected by public entities with regards to health is particularly important to understand and address the disparities that exist in almost every measure of health and well-being. Data on race and ethnicity are often used to target health interventions, design more effective outreach efforts, develop culturally appropriate health education programs and measure success in the elimination of health disparities. Furthermore, data has been identified as one of

Student, civil rights advocate spends summer in D.C. as Harvard fellow Photo by Melanie Burford After returning from a semester abroad in Taiwan, Julie Park plans to work with Vanderbilt's admissions office on Asian-American student recruitment. by Jessica Howard WASHINGTON, D.C. Growing up as a second-generation Korean American in a predominately white suburb in Ohio, Julie Park often had to defend who she was and where she came from. She can still remember an incident as young girl, when another child asked her how could she see out of such small eyes. "I was one of a handful of students of color in elementary school," she said. "Even though I never had a single teacher of color [kindergarten through 12th grade], I somehow got directed to resources that made me conscious and proud of my identity as an Asian American from an early age." A rising junior and civil rights advocate at Vanderbilt, she recently completed a summer fellowship with The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University. As part of the program, she spent seven weeks working at the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium in Washington, D.C. "[The Civil Rights Project] is the country's oldest, largest and broadest civil rights coalition," said Park. "The organization is the driving force behind every piece of civil rights legislation to hit the floor."

CONNIE KANG TIMES STAFF WRITER SAN FRANCISCO One of his admirers calls him a Chinese Martin Luther King. Another describes him as a visionary and a warrior who runs at full gallop without losing his balance. He's a respected professor and an uncompromising community activist. And a Princeton Theological Seminary graduate who sings Negro spirituals. And an accomplished French chef. He owns one suit and sports a perennial crew cut because "I consider combing my hair and polishing my shoes a waste of time." Pick any Asian American civil-rights cause during the last three decades and UC Berkeley professor L. Ling-chi Wang is bound to have had a finger in it. Wang, 62, a soft-spoken Old Testament scholar who directs his university's Asian American studies program, mobilized immigrant parents in a lawsuit that led to the landmark 1974 U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring bilingual education in public schools.

This book is well worth reading and an important addition to the growing number of books on the history of race relations that was not, and is not,taught in school. Kudos to Dudziak for an important job well done.

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE Contact: Chris Komai (213) 625-0414 ext.5648 NATIONAL JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE, OLDEST ASIAN AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION, DONATES ARCHIVES TO JAPANESE AMERICAN NATIONAL MUSEUM LOS ANGELES.-The National Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights and human rights organization in the country, announced that its National Board voted to donate its archives to the Japanese American National Museum, whose collection of material culture documenting the Japanese American experience is the largest in the world. The JACL was founded in 1929, partly in response to anti-Japanese sentiment in America. At various times in the next 70 years, it lobbied Congress to either repeal discriminatory laws or to pass bills to correct historic wrongs. For example, the JACL led efforts to pass the McCarran-Walter Act in 1952, which finally allowed immigrants from Asia to become naturalized U.S. citizens. In the 1980s, the JACL was among several groups that advocated for redress for Japanese Americans for their unlawful incarceration during World War II. The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 provided an official apology and individual reparations for eligible recipients. The Japanese American National Museum's mission is to promote understanding and appreciation for America's ethnic and cultural diversity by preserving and telling the story of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Founded in 1985, the National Museum opened the doors to its Historic Building in 1992 and completed a $45 million project by opening its 85,000-square-foot Pavilion in 1999.

ETHNIC STUDIES 41AC A COMPARATIVE SURVEY OF PROTEST MOVEMENTS SINCE THE 1960S Jason Cato Format: Lecture and section This course is an introductory historical and comparative analysis of the Civil Rights, Black, Chicano, Asian American, and American Indian Movements that emerged during the decade of the 1960s. The course persents an overview of the origins, ideologies, goals, strategies, and key organizations of those movements in the context of U.S. politics and history. It critically examines the internal and external factors that contributed to their decline. The course concludes with an analysis of the legacy of those movements to the present day struggles of a multiracial and multicultural democracy. By way of conclusion, we examine contemporary struggles to form viable transnational labor coalitions between Mexican and U.S. workers. We give emphasis to the ways that global capitalism influences protest movement strategies, and how race, class, and gender affect the process of organizing Mexican and American workers. Focusing upon the activism of African Americans, Chicanos, American Indians, and Asian Americans and upon the transnational organizing between Mexican and American workers, this course develops a comparative framework for understanding the dynamics of race, class, and gender in cultural politics and civil rights struggles. The course falls into six parts, organized around the themes and issues outlined below. We give close attention to the politics of race, class, and gender within and between movements as a basis for comparative examination; the instructor also encourages students to consider comparatively how each movement struggled to expand, undermine, or redefine the meanings of race and national identity within a context of deep racial inequality and diversity.
