The following selection of slides created from photographs taken in 1978 by longtime civil rights attorney and activist Rocky Chin offers a snapshot of the range of activism that Asian Americans led and engaged in during this tumultuous year. Inspired by earlier struggles for civil rights and the power of collective action, this generation of Asian American activists fought for the needs of low-income members of their communities, greater access to higher education, and peace and an end to violence and racism against Asians. Rocky, based primarily in New York, seemed to have traveled this year to photo document and likely participate in protests in Los Angeles, contributing to the cross-pollination of ideas and solidarity-building among activists across Asian American communities during this era.
