Asian American movement

The Asian American Movement was a political and social movement that began in the 1960s and lasting into the late 1970s. It was a time when Asian Americans—people from countries in Asia, such as China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and India—stood up for their rights in America. They wanted the same rights as everyone else and they wanted to be treated fairly. The movement was started by young Asian Americans who wanted to make sure their voice was heard and that their community was respected. During this movement, Asian Americans spoke out against racism and discrimination and fought for better jobs, education, and better treatment in the United States. They held rallies, protests, and other actions to spread awareness and make their voices heard. Even today, the Asian American Movement continues to be an important part of American history.
