Michelle Kwan Asian Americans Who Have Made a Difference Duke Kahanamoku (Photo Corbis) King of the Waves Duke Kahanamoku came to be known as the father of international surfing, but the Hawaiian native made his first splash as a swimmer at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Born in Honolulu in 1890, Kahanamoku struck gold by setting a world record in the 100-meter free-style and earned a silver medal in the 200-meter relay. He won two more golds at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, a silver at the 1924 Paris Olympics, and a bronze at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Kahanamoku's swimming and surfing talents caught the attention of Hollywood, and over the course of nine years, he appeared in nearly 30 movies. Kahanamoku went on to serve as sheriff for the City and County of Honolulu for 26 years. When the legendary swimmer and surfer died at the age of 77, he was remembered for his athletic talent and sportsmanship. To find our more about Duke Kahanamoku, go to the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation Return to top A True Lifesaver Dr. Feng Shan Ho single-handedly saved thousands of Austrian Jews during the Holocaust. When Dr. Ho arrived in Vienna in 1937 as a Chinese diplomat, Austria had the third largest Jewish community in Europe. Just one year later, however, the Nazis took over Austria and began persecuting Jews. Although they tried to flee, Austrian Jews had nowhere to go because most of the world's nations would not accept Jewish refugees. Against all odds, many would survive thanks to Dr. Ho. As Chinese General Consul in Vienna, he went against his boss' orders and began issuing Jews visas to Shanghai, China. These lifesaving documents allowed thousands of Jews to leave Austria and escape death. After 40 years of diplomatic service that included ambassadorships to Egypt, Mexico, Bolivia, and Colombia, Dr. Ho retired to San Francisco, California. At age 89, he published his memoirs, "Forty Years of My Diplomatic Life." Dr. Ho died in 1997, an unknown hero of World War II.

Scholastic Home About Us Site Map Search ... Resources Teacher's Guide for Asian American History PROJECT DESCRIPTION America has been called both a melting pot and a tossed salad because of its history of immigration and assimilation. However, not all immigration groups were quickly or easily accepted into the American way of life. Asians were one of the groups that found it hard to come to the United States, and once they had immigrated, found their lives restricted in ways that other immigrant groups did not encounter. In spite of these obstacles, Asian Americans have contributed in many ways to our nation's history and continue to be one of the largest new immigrant groups today. To learn more about the history and culture of these Asian Americans, Scholastic.com presents Asian American Heritage. This online activity introduces different stories and activities to students and reinforces that Asian Americans have diverse cultural backgrounds. This activity celebrates those differences especially during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May.

BACKGROUND "For the mind and the passion of Hitlerall the aberrations that possessed his feverish brainhad roots that lay deep in German experience and thought. Nazism and the Third Reich, in fact, were but a logical continuation of German history."; so says William L. Shirer, journalist and author of the 1959 publication, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I have not read or reviewedand I willProfessor Novick's The Holocaust in American Life, but I will venture to say that his premise is that information about the Holocaust is not presentedor conveniently forgottento Americans in the context in which it occurred. Within all cultures or nations and throughout history, there have always been select groups within those nations, states, tribes or clans that wish ill. Prior to W.W.II, Germany had been involved in genocidal policies: it's role along with Italy (while the U.S., United Kingdom, and France conveniently looked the other way) in assisting Franco in the Spanish Civil War; the "Vernichtungsbefehl" (extermination order) rendered by General von Trotha, under the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II, against the Africans of Southwest Africa (Namibia)the Herero; and Germany's role in the Chinese Boxer Rebellion. There is also a lack of appreciation of the meticulous and methodical (13 years, 1920-33) rise to power of Hitler and his cronies, aided byand without their help never would have succeededthe German army, bankers, and industrialists. The bankers and industrialists were noticeably absent form the dockets of Nuremburg.

This guide is not a comprehensive list of research materials, but it will give you an overview of the sources you should consider as you plan your research, as well as some starting places for different materials. Planning an effective research strategy will be essential to the success of your paper since many of the familiar legal research tools, such as annotated codes, legal encyclopedias and West key numbers will not provide access to the best research materials for these issues. Your research will be highly interdisciplinary in nature and may lead you to materials in social sciences, economics, sociology, history and public policy, as well as law. Empirical data, such as income, population and/or immigration statistics may be relevant to your research and analysis. The web sites listed in this guide under "Journal Abstracts and Indexes"

What is this comic about? : Senator Kenneth Yamaoka (D-New York) is running for the United States presidency in a campaign that is reminiscent of the 2000 elections (he faces someone very much like Al Gore for the Democratic primary and someone reminiscent of Sen. John Glenn and Sen. John McCain in the general election). He is accompanied by Takashi Jo, a small-time reporter from Japan who now has the biggest story of the year and a big secret : he is Senator Yamaoka's illegitimate son.

Should one maintain a sense of family history? Or is it better to try to blend in and assimilate with the rest of America? This is a problems many minorities, in general, face, but Asian-Americans seem to have a particular presence in this problem. There are countless reasons as to why this could be. This paper will explore specific problems among Asian-Americans trying to find an identity as well as possible reasons and solutions for this problem. The information from this paper comes from books containing oral histories, statistical books, and personal interviews, as well as a smattering of hypothesizing and author's contemplation on the subject. History of Asian Dissension From the very point in the mid-19th century that Chinese people began to come to the United States, there was a general distaste for these foreigners. Stereotypes surrounded them and while having their supporters, many people made it publically known their views on Chinese immigrants. An 1873 editorial in the magazine The Elevator shows the ignorant hostility being vented: This disturbing train of thought suffers from what many racist rationalizations do: poorly thought out arguments. The most notable one in this particular editorial is the reference to Chinese as "pagans in religion." This is ironic because while many Chinese of the time did not subscribe to Christianity, their primary religion was Buddhism, a clearly monotheistic religion. A pagan, as defined by the Miriam-Webster dictionary, is a "follower of a polytheistic religion."
