Title A name given to the resource Young Demonstrators Lead Chants At Rising Sun Protest Description An account of the resource In photos 071 and 072, three young protestors stand in front of a microphone. One, identified as Ava Chin, has a sign around her neck with the only visible word being “Stop” while another is turned to the side looking out potentially speaking into the microphone and the third is looking straight ahead wearing a resist t-shirt (identified as Sonya Zabala). There are other protestors pictured in the background and there is a partial shot of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund banner in the background. In photo 074, (from left to right) Bert Wang, Ava Chin, Tamaraw, and Sonya Zabala lead over one hundred demonstrators in chants at the opening of the film Rising Sun [1]. These photos take place in Times Square on July 30, 1993 during the protest of Rising Sun, a film widely criticized for its racist and xenophobic depictions of Asians. In particular, Japanese men are vilified in the film, portrayed as “deviant foreigners bent on taking over American institutions” [2]. 1. “Rising Sun!

Title A name given to the resource "Drop All Charges": Demonstration for Saleem Osman Description An account of the resource A protestor is pictured next to a police barricade holding a sign at chest level that reads “DROP ALL CHARGES! FREE SALEEM.” In the background of the photograph, there is a police officer looking away from the camera. The demonstration took place on May 27, 1994, a day after taxi driver and CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition (LDC), Saleem Osman, was beaten and arrested by plainclothes policemen from the Transit Police and Midtown South Precinct who never identified themselves [1]. The racially motivated police brutality took place while Osman was responding to an assist call from another South Asian taxi driver. Osman was dragged from his cab and beaten by the unidentified officers, suffering “injuries to his head, neck, legs, and wrists which required medical attention.” The officers fabricated two charges: assaulting two police officers and resisting arrest [2]. Osman practiced law in Lahore, Pakistan for five years before becoming a law professor, and after moving to NYC, he began driving a yellow cab. Osman was new to the CAAAV staff and had just become the organizer to the LDC in 1994 [3]. The LDC pushed for the rights of taxicab drivers, many of which were from South Asia. Some issues they organized for were health insurance for drivers, geography and English classes, and organizing against the increase in lease prices [4]. Over 100 Asian Americans and yellow cab drivers banded together to protest the false charges brought on Osman, walking from Police Plaza to Central Booking [5]. He was kept in custody for over 24 hours, but it was through the efforts of all these protestors that Osman was released. 1. “New York City Incidents”.
