                <text>Interviews with people of color from all walks of life discussing the presence of the processed meat SPAM in their lives and cultures. In Asian and the Pacific Islands, SPAM, as an American food, is a delicacy and a status symbol, a fact that, because of SPAM's presence in army rations, stems from America's military occupations in those areas. However, in America, it is often looked down upon as disgusting and unhealthy. These differing perspectives can be used against people of color by Americans to disparage them and their cuisine. All of those interviewed feel these factors in their family lives and their personal relationship with SPAM. These individual stories shed light on the individual impact of colonialism on the descendants of the colonized.</text>

                <text>On May 26, 1994, Saleem Osman, a community organizer and CAAAV advocate, was beaten and arrested by two plainclothes police officers after attempting to settle a conflict between a white truck driver and a Pakistani cab driver. CAAAV immediately began organizing demonstrations protesting this case of police brutality. While District Attorney Robert Morgenthau had been consistently refusing to drop the charges against Osman for over a year, public pressure and multiracial organizing in support of Osman grew stronger as Osman's trial date neared. This pressure came to a head at the protest in this video, where many impassioned speeches were given on his behalf. Finally, just a few days later, the DA agreed to drop the case, dismissing the charges against Osman on July 10, 1995.</text>

                <text>This photograph dated July, 1995 was taken at the memorial service of 16-year-old Yong Xin Huang at PS 124 in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Huang’s middle school portrait can be seen in a black frame bordered with purple flowers. The line “WE SHALL NEVER FORGET” is partially covered by a white sign that reads “Remember” written in black marker. The service was held a day before Huang’s would be 17th birthday.1  &#13;
&#13;
On the morning of March 24, 1995 in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, Huang was playing with a pellet gun in the backyard of a friend’s home when a neighbor called the police. Officer Steven Mizrahi arrived on the scene and struggled to decipher whether or not the pellet gun was a real weapon. According to police spokesperson, Doram Tamari, the two then “engaged in a struggle” and a round from Mizrahi’s Glock 9mm “discharged from the officer’s gun” leaving Huang fatally wounded from a gunshot to the head.2 &#13;
&#13;
Huang’s friends later testified that Huang was not resisting and in fact had his hands on a wall, but police claimed that Huang attempted to fight back resulting in an accidental discharge of Mizrahi’s gun.3 The City Medical Examiner's Office refused to release their autopsy report, but an independent autopsy revealed that Huang had suffered injuries to the face and been shot from point blank range. Yet, Charles Hynes, the Brooklyn District Attorney at the time, determined to not charge Mizrahi, sparking CAAAV to protest alongside Huang’s family against police brutality.4 &#13;
&#13;
On April 25th, one month after Yong Xin Huang’s death, thousands of protesters organized in downtown Manhattan to demand an end to police brutality and the city’s increasing presence of government-sanctioned law enforcement. Huang’s mother was soon joined by Black, Latinx and fellow Asian American families who too were protesting the painful feeling of having lost a loved one in the hands of law enforcement.5 Although the death of Yong Xin Huang brought division between minorities and the police, it ignited a shared pain among families who lost loved ones due to racially motivated police brutality. &#13;

                <text>This photograph depicts a memorial and rally for 16-year old Yong Xin Huang, who was killed by a policeman. Dated July 16th, 1995, the rally was held the day before what would have been his 17th birthday. Organized by CAAAV, the memorial brought many members of the Asian-American community to Confucius Plaza, where leaders from the Asian, African American, and Latino communities spoke out against police brutality. &#13;
&#13;
In this photo, we can see these community members carrying signs in the shape of headstones in honor of Yong Xin and other young lives lost to police brutality and anti-Asian racism. These include Kai Lor, another 16-year old who was shot four times in an attempted robbery despite lacking a weapon, and Luyen Phan Nguyen, a 19-year old university student killed after objecting to being called “Viet Cong” and “Chink” at a party.&#13;
&#13;
Yong Xing was playing with a pellet gun at his friend’s house the morning of March 24th, 1995, when a neighbor called the police. Police accounts claimed that there was a struggle, and that Officer Steven Mizrahi believed the boy’s gun to be real. In spite of this, injuries found in an autopsy report made it clear that Yong Xin had his face pushed against a glass door and was shot in the back of the head. At the time, a grand jury still concluded that the killing was accidental, and no indictment was brought against Officer Mizrahi. &#13;
&#13;
Years later, the Huang family sued the city alleging that the officer wasn’t properly trained and acted recklessly. They settled with the city for $400,000, but did not receive public justice. Yong Xin’s sister Qinglan has continued to speak out against police brutality, notably advocating for justice for the family of Akai Gurley in 2014. The gravestone imagery within the photo speaks to an ongoing struggle against anti-Asian racism and police brutality, as the memory of Yong Xin and many others reminds us.&#13;

                <text>In this undated photograph, a group of demonstrators gather in front of the Silver Palace Restaurant. The crowd, dressed for warm weather, stands behind a line of wooden NYPD parade barricades as a police officer scans the crowd. The crowd waves small flags overhead and carries large signs written in both English and Chinese.  A young child peers over a barricade to view a poster taped to its front, reading: “LET THE UNION LIVE.” Above the child, two large canvas banners unfurl facing the Silver Palace restaurant. Echoing the establishment’s white façade with red Chinese and English signage, the white banner in the center reads in large red block letters, “NO SLAVERY NO JUSTICE,” above similarly formatted Chinese characters. In front of the restaurant’s neon window sign, a megaphone-wielding man, sporting glasses and a black t-shirt, addresses the crowd. This photograph captures an example of Asian American activism and mutual aid at a pivotal moment in the 1990’s labor justice movement, while simultaneously bringing to light larger socioeconomic divisions within Chinatown between landlords, employers, and immigrant workers.&#13;
&#13;
The Silver Palace Restaurant, once located at 50-52 Bowery, was the first unionized restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown.1 The 900-seat dim-sum restaurant opened its doors in 1976 within a building owned by Joseph Chu, a prolific landlord in Chinatown.2 Only three years later, exploitative labor practices and illegal wage theft at Silver palace prompted its employees to stage a walkout. In 1981, with the aid of the Chinese Staff and Workers Association (CSWA), the newly formed 318 Restaurant Workers’ Union succeeded in their negotiations with Silver Palace management and won the first union contract for restaurant workers in New York City’s Chinatown.3 &#13;
&#13;
This photograph, taken presumably for the Silver Palace story in CAAAV’s fall ’93 newsletter, shows a demonstration that would soon become a daily occurrence outside the dim-sum restaurant for much of 1993 and 1994. In the late summer of 1993, the Silver Palace employee’s hard-earned benefits from the 1981 union contract, such as fair wages, full tips, medical coverage, schedule autonomy, and paid sick and holiday leave, were at risk of termination by the restaurant’s management.4 Though the 318 Union organized nine good faith attempts to negotiate the proposed contract, Silver Palace management refused to agree to fair labor conditions; instead, the management violated federal labor laws by threatening to fire the employees on the union’s bargaining committee if they did not sign the exploitative contract by the end of August.5 On August 20th, the restaurant locked over 40 employees out of their restaurant and called NYPD to arrest the workers demanding withheld wages and holiday pay. The 1993 Lockout resulted in legal suits against the Silver Palace and a seven-month picket line, as seen in this photograph.6 The protracted struggle with Silver Palace’s management lasted until March 13, 1994, when the daily demonstration of over 600 protesters erupted in celebration of the restaurant workers victory.7  &#13;
