Title A name given to the resource Protesters holding signs march at a demonstration for Saleem Osman Description An account of the resource A group of protesters march beside police barricades while holding signs during a demonstration for Saleem Osman, a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition. The signs read “Stop Police Brutality” and “Why Did The Police Attack Saleem?" On May 26, 1994, Osman traveled to 33rd Street and Sixth Avenue after being called to help mitigate a dispute between a Pakistani cab driver and a white truck driver [1]. There, he was confronted by plainclothes officers from the Transit Police and the Midtown South Precinct who told him: “There’s no black mayor anymore. You better watch out” and “Go back to your own country.” The officers, who never identified themselves, proceeded to drag Osman out of his cab by his hair and clothing and subsequently beat him. This resulted in injuries to his head, neck, legs, and wrists that required medical attention. Osman was then arrested on the fabricated charge of assaulting two police officers and resisting arrest. Over a hundred Asian Americans and yellow cab drivers marched from Police Plaza to Central Booking in protest of this unlawful arrest on May 27, 1994. After 24 hours in police custody, Osman was released, due in large part to the demonstration and a CAAAV media campaign [2]. This violent attack on Osman was emblematic of the danger cab drivers, many of whom were South Asian, faced in New York City and across the United States during the early 1990s. Nationally, cab drivers had the highest rate of on-the-job homicides, with New York City leading well ahead of other urban areas. NYPD officers often acted aggressively hostile towards drivers and consistently used racist and anti-immigration slurs against them [3]. More broadly, the Asian American community faced an uptick in brutality at the hands of the NYPD during this era. Out of the 71 cases of Asian American violence the CAAAV tracked between 1993 and 1995, 34 had law enforcement as the primary perpetrators and 18 had law enforcement as accomplices [4].

Title A name given to the resource Vacant Dragon Gate Market Description An account of the resource A vacant Dragon Gate Market with empty stalls in Sara D. Roosevelt Park on the Lower East Side. Two people walk in the distance. In the back, there is a large mural painted on a brick building that features a dragon in front of a city skyline. The market opened in 1994 as the city’s effort to centralize and marginalize Chinatown vendors, who then had to pay the Parks Department to lease their space. Many vendors also invested their life savings into the stalls they constructed. [1] After the city terminated the market’s lease in December 1998, vendors and members of CAAAV gathered in February 1999 to protest the eviction. While the State Supreme Court issued a temporary stay of the eviction to grant vendors additional time to pack up, the city eventually razed the stalls in March 1999. The Parks Department renovated the brick building, erasing the mural and retaining the name “Dragon’s Gate Comfort Station.” [2] For more information, see: CAAAV Voice issue Fall 1999 (page 7); article “The Closure of Dragon Gate Market” in exhibit “Quality of Life: CAAAV’s Activism Against the Giuliani Administration’s Policing;" and item “Protestors with Arrest Giuliani Poster."
