ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH (Ed Kubokawa)
The celebration of Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month is being chaired
by Jack Nakashima, and ably assisted by Ellen Nagata Kruse, Chairperson of the
Diablo Valley College Asian Students Union. The highlight of this month long
celebration will be an evening with film maker KENJI YAMAMOTO, and the screening
of his much acclaimed full length movie - THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD - shown at ART
THEATERS in the Bay Area at $7.00 per person admission fee.
This will be the last public showing of the film so be sure to reserve the evening
of May 9th on your calendar... and get to the theater early because the theater
capacity is only 250.
"THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD" to be shown
Saturday, May 9th at the FORUM, Diablo Valley College
Reception: 6:30 PM, Screening: 7:30 PM
ADMISSION FREE - FREE ADMISSION - but donations gladly accepted at door
APA HERITAGE MONTH in the Diablo Valley traces its roots to a "movement" within the
Mt. Diablo Unified School District to raise the sensitivities and awareness of the
School Board, Administration, Faculty and Staff towards Asian Pacific American
co-workers, and an increasing enrollment of APA students... by showing films, holding
cultural events, having prominent Asian speakers, etc. to educate the educators,
and to "open" their eyes and minds to Eastern culture and traditions, and to show
that Asian Pacific Americans can achieve and become useful members of the community,
given the opportunity.
This handful of activists aptly called themselves "Asian American Together of Mt.
Diablo", and worked within the framework of the District Human Relations Program.
This was back in 1989.
APA Heritage Week has now grown into a month long celebration, with the House of
Representatives passing a Resolution in 1991 proclaiming the month of MAY Asian
Pacific American Heritage Month.
According to Jack Nakashima, Asian Pacific Americans constitute 9.4 percent of
students registered in the Mt. Diablo School District, and Asian Americans Together
is looking for the day when Administrator/Faculty/Staff retio begins to closely
reflect the 9.4 percent student enrollment. Sad to report, this ratio stands at
2.2 percent today.
Jack Nakashima has been the "driver and shaker" behind this movement for better
representation, "parity" as Jack calls it, for Asian Pacific Americans in the school
district. TRULY AMAZING WHAT ONE PERSON WITH DETERMINATION AND VISION CAN ACCOMPLISH!
Jack's program to raise the sensitivity of the school district has grown into a
community event, with AAT of Mt. Diablo, Asian Pacific Faculty & Staff of DVC, Asian
Students Union of DVC, Associated Students of DVC and the Diablo Valley JACL
co-sponsoring the screening of - THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD -.
