APSU: Education as a Right
0.00 21 minutes Produced to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the statewide Asian Pacific Student Union (APSU), this collaboration between activists/filmmakers Linda Mabalot and Stann Nakazono observes the rise of a new generation of Asian Pacific American student activists in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 1978 Bakke Decision. Interviews with founders and activists involved with APSU members, former student activists, educators, and local and national politicians paint the portrait of the next generation of Asian Pacific American activists and how grassroots activists began the long process towards empowerment and full participation in America’s social, cultural, and political processes.
