Snapshots of Asian America: A Look at the Movement’s Spirit and Legacy examines the rich, little-known history of Asian American social activism during the late 1960s and 1970s. The content of these KQED-hosted pages have been drawn mainly from Asian Americans: The Movement and the Moment, a first-of-its-kind anthology of 25 personal narratives, and 433 photographs and illustrations produced during the Movement itself.

Excerpts (including text appearing in bold) and artwork exhibited on this site were selected by AAMP, and we would like to thank all the authors (who are listed separately in the Author Bios section) and artists whose work appears on these Web pages. Permission to use the excerpts and images from the anthology was granted by the authors and artists. In some cases, however, we were unable to locate the artist or photographer who created an image, and we hope that our use of their work is consistent with the spirit that inspired the image.

Who We Are

The Asian American Movement Project (AAMP) was organized in September, 2001 after the publication of Asian Americans: The Movement and the Moment, an anthology based upon personal experiences and analysis of Asian American activists during the 1960s and '70s. The purpose of this project is to examine the history and lessons of the Asian American Movement during the 1960s and '70s and to apply that legacy to issues and struggles facing Asian America today. AAMP is an intergenerational, multi-racial group involving activists, cultural workers, writers, organizers, and carpenter ants.
