              <text>A protester speaks to NYPD officers during a demonstration for Saleem Osman. The protester is lifting his hand in the air as if surrendering while an officer extends his hand towards him. Another officer looks directly into the camera. Interactions between the police and Asian Americans were contentious in New York City during the 1990s with many officers showing clear bias against the community, often employing various racial and anti-immigration slurs against them [1]. &#13;
&#13;
On May 26, 1994, Saleem Osman, a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition, was assaulted by police and arrested on fabricated charges. Over a hundred Asian Americans and yellow cab drivers marched from Police Plaza to Central Booking the following day in protest of this unlawful arrest.&#13;
