At \ h e request of JACL, .JuJUe. Arthur Goldberg leI- Jled on bebalf of the re- peal. senatorlal and con- grtSS.onai leaden! also te,Ulled for rl!P<al of this law. The bUl passed because ther" was a laree national organizatton behind it: be-- cause key 1eD810r18J .. nd con- gTenlonal leaders 5UPported us. CASE: Q-Lasl ,ear we had eral pe .....nallzed license plates In CaJllomia with de· l'ogatol'Y words like Co J ap 1", uJap 2" and" ip". "'hen we went 10 the Department of Molor Vehicles th"y sold Ih"y dJdn't ha\'e the power to re- caU the offensi"e plates. We Ihen spoke with key members ,,[ I he slate A ... mbly and Senale. 11m Ion Marks. who has given us support before. introduced a bUl to gi\'e the department power 01 reca lI. The bill was passed. The plales in question h a \' e all been removed. We were able to get the support because we are a large, respected organization ,,1th years of experience. CA E: R - Just this last week the U.S. Senate chang- ed the rule on filibuster. ow it takes a ,'ote ot 3/5 rather than 2 3 majority 10 o>'Crt\1le a 6.l!buster. JACL supported this chanRe because we recog- nize that much progressiv" legislation on a national le\'- eI in the area of civil rigbll! has been stYmied because ot that particuiar rule. In helping to change thi.! rule we met with key legis- lators out of our Washington office. We joined with other civil rights organizations In calling on Vice President Nel- son Rockefeller. the presiding officer of the Senate, to make key rulings in lavor of chang- ing the role. I;lecause we are a large, na- tional organization we share lOformation and support with other large civil rights orga- nizations. In lonning coali- lions on questions we agree on, whether It be NAA- CP. Urban Lealllle, League of Women Volers. 01' Common Cause. we are able to bring inMght to the decision mak- ers. It .Tapanese ad\'ocate for a certain law Ihen irs easy to wr.ite off. We are a "",aU minorIty. But w hen large segments of Ameflca represented by na- tional organizations say an aclion is good, then there Is real strength. CASE S-Fi\'e or six years aleO a bIll came before Con- gress to ... tablish an Ethnic Horitage Act. Man), people really did not understand th. at Japane e Americans have a unique history and bad made contributions to this nation JACL contacled the legisla· tOT> in Washington and ex- plained thai -we do have 8 unique background and that we 5UPported the elhnlc heri - tage studJes program. We saw in It a way for people to dN'elop materlals that are ac- curate aboul us rather than developing and perpeluatlng slereotypes, When the Act fir t came up for discussion in Bill Hosokawa lestifled on be- hal! of the J ACL urging the enaClment and funding or the bill. BI1I dJd an el"9uent lob of advocating for the concept It was not untU I a s I year that Ihe bill eve r gol any fundJog. When it did the JACL was on record tor supporting It . In the meantime we bad talk- ed to 0 u r congresSmen and senators. We put In a propo- sal and wben the proposals were accepted, the ' !act that we had a large national or- ganization with 30,000 mem- bers who had goals of edu- cation and currIculum deve- lopment clearly estabUshed and that we had a track rec- ord of 46 years was very ltn- portant. Of the thousands of pro- posals that came in for lim- Ited 1unding, JACL received one ot t.he very few grant.. \..Ioying tbe groundwork paid off. Educational malerials are now being developed which will be available for the cl ass- room. These materials will be accurate and a ailable for pubUshers and educators. CASE T-Recently a large government agency settled a question of employment dis- crimination againsl one ot our JACL members. He received a long, deserved promotioD, and the agency agreed to in- stitute an affirmative action plan on the pari of other Ja- panese Americans it employ- ed . . Our member had the cour- age to come and speak to us about his I a c k of advance· ment. Research and documen- tation of his claims were oon- dueled. We spoke with attor· neys 10 flnd what sort of le- gal recourse we had. shown the evidence and made a ware of the support Ihls man had [rom a national organi- zalion. the agency agreed on just compensaUon and affir- mative action. There was no need to take court action. CASE U-Lasl year Chrys- ler Motors Corp. ran an ad depicting Japanese people In a derogatory and stereotyping manner. This was a nation- al ad campaign coming ou l of New York City. We wrote the president of the advertising agency and the president of Chrysier Corp. pointing 0 u t the derogatory na ture of the ad and explained that it was offensive 10 Japanese Ameri - cafls. They agl'eed that there was no point in making fun of a racial group and recall- ed Ihe national campaign.

CASE P-On 'Sept H. 1971, the U.S. House o{ Representa­ti\".,; \-oted 56 to 49 10 r e -peal the 1950 Emergency D'e­teolian Act known 10 many u "T.Ue 11". Two days later the Senate passed the bill by

oiC'e' vote and ~t Ilt it to the President for .igoature. So eDded the law that had sllo\\­ed pre\'enth't' detention. simi­lar to the experience or BO.-000 Japanese Americans con­Aned without trilll for three ,.ea.n; in ten "relocation C:amps~.

Whll" 1 doubt that parucu· lor biD would ever be airn­ed at Japanese Americans again. there'6 a principle in­...,h·ed Ihll 1'0 clll! e 10 us be-­raUfe of our experience. :-to one should "y It can't hap­pen h..,.e because it did one". T h" total society benrflll! from th" repeal of thaI law .., thaI no i"0UP, whether it be younlt people, militant.s, rnctionafl.,.. Of an_' people .. 11 e \' e r be placed under thIS "pe of delentlon.

The. repeal of Ihe [av.' rep­resented hard work on the part man ~ m"",ben; of the JACL throughoul th" nation.

In Wa hinrton Mike MaSll­"ka and 1m" I with sena­tors and conlt1'~en. we talked 10 members of the pres>. lelevi ion and raWo, uplairung our p osl t Ion. Through the Washington of­fice we contacted other cll II rights organiz.alloru and gain­ed their support In repeal of the Ia" We mel- IIh lead­~n! of labor and education organiza Uons.

At \ h e request of JACL, .JuJUe. Arthur Goldberg leI-

Jled on bebalf of the re­peal. f(e~ senatorlal and con­grtSS.onai leaden! also te,Ulled for rl!P<al of this law.

The bUl passed because ther" was a laree national organizatton behind it: be-­cause key 1eD810r18J .. nd con­gTenlonal leaders 5UPported us.

CASE: Q-Lasl ,ear we had eral pe ..... nallzed license

plates In CaJllomia with de·

l'ogatol'Y words like Co J ap 1", uJap 2" and" ip". "'hen we went 10 the Department of Molor Vehicles th"y sold Ih"y dJdn't ha\'e the power to re­caU the offensi"e plates. We Ihen spoke with key members ,,[ I he slate A ... mbly and Senale. 11m Ion Marks. who has given us support before. introduced a bUl to gi\'e the department power 01 reca lI. The bill was passed. The plales in question h a \' e all been removed.

We were able to get the support because we are a large, respected organization ,,1th years of experience.

CA E: R - Just this last week the U.S. Senate chang­ed the rule on filibuster. ow it takes a ,'ote ot 3/5 rather than 2 3 majority 10 o>'Crt\1le a 6.l!buster. JACL supported this chanRe because we recog­nize that much progressiv" legislation on a national le\'­eI in the area of civil rigbll! has been stYmied because ot that particuiar rule.

In helping to change thi.! rule we met with key legis­lators out of our Washington office. We joined with other civil rights organizations In calling on Vice President Nel­son Rockefeller. the presiding officer of the Senate, to make key rulings in lavor of chang­ing the role.

I;lecause we are a large, na­tional organization we share lOformation and support with other large civil rights orga­nizations. In lonning coali­lions on questions we agree on, whether It be \\~th NAA­CP. Urban Lealllle, League of Women Volers. 01' Common Cause. we are able to bring inMght to the decision mak­ers.

It onl~- .Tapanese Am~neans ad\'ocate for a certain law Ihen irs easy to wr.ite off. We are a "",aU minorIty. But w hen large segments of Ameflca represented by na­tional organizations say an aclion is good, then there Is real strength.

CASE S-Fi\'e or six years aleO a bIll came before Con­gress to ... tablish an Ethnic Horitage Act. Man), people really did not understand th.at Japane e Americans have a unique history and bad made contributions to this nation

JACL contacled the legisla · tOT> in Washington and ex­plained thai -we do have 8 unique background and that we 5UPported the elhnlc heri ­tage studJes program. We saw in It a way for people to dN'elop materlals that are ac­curate aboul us rather than developing and perpeluatlng slereotypes,

When the Act fir t came up

for discussion in Congre~.,

Bill Hosokawa lestifled on be­hal! of the J ACL urging the enaClment and funding or the bill. BI1I dJd an el"9uent lob of advocating for the concept It was not untU I a s I year that Ihe bill eve r gol any fundJog.

When it did the JACL was on record tor supporting It. In the meantime we bad talk­ed to 0 u r congresSmen and senators. We put In a propo­sal and wben the proposals were accepted , the ' !act that we had a large national or­ganization with 30,000 mem­bers who had goals of edu­cation and currIculum deve­lopment clearly estabUshed and that we had a track rec­ord of 46 years was very ltn­portant.

Of the thousands of pro­posals that came in for lim­Ited 1unding, JACL received one ot t.he very few grant.. \..Ioying tbe groundwork paid off. Educational malerials a re now being developed which will be available for the class­room. These materials will be accurate and a ailable for pubUshers and educators.

CASE T-Recently a large government agency settled a question of employment dis­crimination againsl one ot our JACL members. He received a long, deserved promotioD, and the agency agreed to in­stitute an affirmative action plan on the pari of other Ja­panese Americans it employ-ed. .

Our member had the cour­age to come and speak to us about his I a c k of advance· ment. Research and documen­tation of his claims were oon-dueled. We spoke with attor· neys 10 flnd what sort of le­gal recourse we had. WI~en shown the evidence and made a ware of the support Ihls man had [rom a national organi­zalion. the agency agreed on just compensaUon and affir­mative action. There was no need to take court action.

CASE U-Lasl year Chrys­ler Motors Corp. ran an ad depicting Japanese people In a derogatory and stereotyping manner. This was a nation­al ad campaign coming ou l of New York City. We wrote the president of the advertising agency and the president of Chrysier Corp. pointing 0 u t the derogatory na ture of the ad and explained that it was offensive 10 Japanese Ameri ­cafls. They agl'eed that there was no point in making fun of a racial group and recall­ed Ihe national campaign.
