In addition, there are a lot of different events happening this upcoming Thursday, Feb. 28! Please try to go out to a couple of them! They will definitely be worth your time.

Talk by Scott Kurashige
"The Shifting Grounds of Race: Black and Japanese Americans in the Making of Multiethnic Los Angeles"

In The Shifting Grounds of Race, Scott Kurashige highlights the role African Americans and Japanese Americans played in the social and political struggles that remade twentieth-century Los Angeles. Linking paradigmatic events like Japanese American internment and the Black civil rights movement, Kurashige explores the multiethnic dimensions of segregation and integration. Racism and sprawl shaped the dominant image of Los Angeles as a "white city." But they simultaneously fostered a shared oppositional consciousness among Black and Japanese Americans living as neighbors within diverse urban communities. Kurashige demonstrates why African Americans and Japanese Americans joined forces in the battle against discrimination and why the trajectories of the two groups diverged.

Stop Police Brutality, REMEMBER MICHAEL CHO.

Justice for Mike Cho and UCLA's Korean American Students Association, Queer Alliance, and Asian Pacific Coalition invite you and your friends to a UCLA campus vigil for Michael S. Cho.

Everybody is welcome to bring instruments to play along with the crowd.

If you knew Mike or work with civil rights organizations and would like to speak at the event, please contact justiceformikecho@gmail.com.

Background: On December 31, 2007 at approximately 2pm, Michael S. Cho, a 25 year old UCLA graduate, was shot and killed by La Habra policemen who were responding to a vandalism complaint. They shot him over 10 times. Policemen justified the shooting by claiming that he was holding a tire iron in his left hand and made a "motion to attack".

We hope to see you out at these events!
