People's Movement

In the late spring of 1969, the Asian Coalition for Equality (ACE) movement took place in Seattle. This movement took place for quite a while, then slowly dialed down and ended a couple years later.
The groups involved in this movement were Seattle Area citizens, University of Washington's undergraduate students, graduate students, and the special education program (SEP) located at the university. They played a role and contributed to ACE by bringing a lot of awareness to everyone.
About the prominent leaders of the movement..
Hi! I'm Rev. Mineo Katigiri, ACE's leader and spokesperson! I helped to establish and strengthen churches in the communities of California.
During my time in the United States, I encountered a lot of racial prejudice and discrimination specifically targeted against Japanese Americans.. It was not a good time. Right then, I knew something had to be done.
Hello! My name is Phil Hayasaka, and I am the co-founder of ACE. After this movement, I followed my passion of civil rights. In 1972, I became the the first chairperson of the Washington State Asian Advisory council. I used this to my advantage to bring awareness of institutional racism against Asians!
The strategies used to bring change, where it all begun..
Protests led by Central Contractors Association
Confronting Charles Evans, head of the University of Washington's SEP (he did not include Asian Americans while recruiting)
Challenging police repression of the protests
