    Extractions: 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.

Women's Issues CAMPAIGN FINANCE HEARINGS ARE CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ASIAN-AMERICANS Statement in the Congressional Record October 7, 1997 Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, a number of concerns have been expressed over the past few months regarding the manner in which Chairman Burton and the majority Members of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee have conducted their investigation into campaign finance abuses during the 1996 election campaign. There have been complaints that the investigation too partisan, that it is duplicative and poorly managed. After nine-months and literally millions in tax-payer funds, this investigation has been beset with delays, staff resignations, poorly conducted investigations, and bungled procedures. At the recent meeting of the Committee at which Committee members voted to extend immunity to a few witnesses who will testify at a hearing later this week, I raised a matter of the most serious concern to me. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call to the attention of the House those concerns which I raised during the meeting of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, this House and the Committee investigating campaign finance must be particularly sensitive about the possible discriminatory effects that the investigation may have on Asian Americans. There is a grave danger that stereotyping and Asian bashing will become, and in many instances have become, part and parcel of this investigation.

The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), the nation’s oldest and largest Asian Pacific American civil rights organization, joined our colleagues in remembering Mr. Chin and calling on the Congressional leadership to bring the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act for floor votes in both chambers. "We should be standing here today to acknowledge that Vincent Chin did not die in vain. And yet, we stand here, demanding many of the same rights that Asian American activists demanded after the murder of Vincent Chin," noted Deepa Iyer of South Asian American Leaders of Tomorrow. "Let us not waste another twenty years risking the lives of more innocent people before hate crimes are squarely and honestly addressed in America."

34. Asian Americans To Form New Association For Civil Rights

    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.
