Native Americans European-Americans African-Americans Asian Americans T he people of Arkansas are as wonderfully diverse as the varied landscapes on which they settled. Even today, the population of Arkansas reflects the ethnic diversity of the immigrants who centuries ago traveled from around the world to settle here. Native Americans, European-Americans, and African-Americans made up the largest portion of the population in the sparsely settled regions of Arkansas up until the eve of the Civil War. Most of these people arrived to take advantage of the cheap land available in the new state of Arkansas. Most African-Americans were brought to the state as slaves. After 1865, a new wave of immigration swept through the United States. Companies sought to bring immigrants to Arkansas through newspaper advertisements, exhibits, books, promotional articles and pamphlets. Europeans, Asians and African-Americans settled throughout the state and brought their cultures with them. Today, the legacy of these people tells the story of Arkansas.

San Francisco School Board, l905 In response to the challenge of changing demographics more than a century ago, the San Francisco School Board established a segregated Chinese Primary School for Chinese children to attend, including those who were American-born. By the turn-of-the century after Japanese immigrants had settled in the wake of Chinese exclusion, the School Board also applied the Chinese segregation policy to Japanese students. School superintendent, Aaron Altmann, advised the city's principals: "Any child that may apply for enrollment or at present attends your school who may be designated under the head of 'Mongolian' must be excluded, and in furtherance of this please direct them to apply at the Chinese School for enrollment." Throughout their history, Asian Americans have confronted a long legacy of exclusion and inequity in relation to school policies and practices, particularly during periods of changing demographics, economic recession, or war. In spite of historic, linguistic differences, distinct Asian nationalities have been grouped together and treated similarly in schools and in the larger society.

The changes are also dramatic. The immigrants are now Hispanic, Indian, Bengali, Korean, and African. At the same time, gentrification is sweeping the Lower East Side, which is adjacent to the now upscale SoHo area. Designer clothing stores and trendy restaurants have opened, and developers are purchasing buildings for renovation and market-rate rental. Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE) formed as a civil rights group 25 years ago and evolved into a nonprofit housing developer and advocate for Asian immigrants. When it assumed responsibility for the El Caribe project from a failed nonprofit, AAFE brought new life to five deteriorated buildings whose occupants were primarily Hispanic. To overcome language and cultural barriers, AAFE reorganized and hired experienced Latino staff in top positions. It drove out the drug dealers and criminals who had infested the neglected buildings and replaced all the structural systems, transforming the buildings into 49 long-term affordable rental apartments. El Caribe today represents the growing trust and unity among the area's Asian and Latino populations. View the full Asian Americans for Equality, Inc. profile

In achieving these goals, we will make close coordination with Asian American centers and Asian American clubs in other CUNY colleges. We can also provide information and services for Asian American communities and coordinate with pan-Asian organizations to protect Asian American interests in the area. In achieving these goals, it is important for us to establish close relations with major Asian American communities (especially ethnic media) and pan-Asian political and social service organizations such as Asian Americans for Equality and Asian American Federation.

When Spain's Christopher Columbus "discovered" the New World in 1492, about 1.5 million Native Americans lived in what is now the continental United States, although estimates of the number vary greatly. Mistaking the place where he landed San Salvador in the Bahamas for the Indies, Columbus called the Native Americans "Indians." During the next 200 years, people from several European countries followed Columbus across the Atlantic Ocean to explore America and set up trading posts and colonies. Native Americans suffered greatly from the influx of Europeans. The transfer of land from Indian to European and later American hands was accomplished through treaties, wars, and coercion, with Indians constantly giving way as the newcomers moved west. In the 19th century, the government's preferred solution to the Indian "problem" was to force tribes to inhabit specific plots of land called reservations. Some tribes fought to keep from giving up land they had traditionally used. In many cases the reservation land was of poor quality, and Indians came to depend on government assistance. Poverty and joblessness among Native Americans still exist today.

Home Updated on April 05, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 28, 2001 CONTACT: 202/628-3353 iacfpa@iacfpa.org IACPA Expresses Concern with President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders WASHINGTON -The Indian American Center for Political Awareness (IACPA), formerly known as the India Abroad Center for Political Awareness, today expressed its concern with President Bush's intention to appoint only one Indian American to the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (Initiative), and strongly urges the appointment of another Indian American for the remaining position, which is to be filled by the end of next week. While the IACPA supports the nomination of the lone Indian American, Dr. Zachariah Zachariah, to serve on the 15-person Initiative, IACPA believes that an additional Indian American is needed to fully represent the Indian American community's interests. "The Indian American community stands 1.7 million strong, according to the U.S. Census 2000, in the country. To represent this large community, which is the third largest group among Asian Americans, one Indian American on this commission is simply not enough," said Anita Banerji, IACPA associate. IACPA's concern with the Initiative is not intended to raise issues with those Commissioners who will be appointed. IACPA fully believes that the new Commissioners will serve with integrity and responsibility.
