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.

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].

In particular, Japanese men are vilified in the film, portrayed as “deviant foreigners bent on taking over American institutions” [2]. 1. “Rising Sun!
