- - - - THE HISTORY OF ASIAN AMERICANS:
        Throughout their history, Asian Americans have had a long history with exclusion and inequity in relation to school policies and practices. During the times of changing demographics, war and economic recession the times of exclusion was at its highest.
        
        Beginning in the 1850's young men were recruited as laborers from Southern China. They worked as miners, railroad builders, farmers and factory workers. In the United States in 1876, they were taking away jobs to Asian Americans and the asian laborers were outraged. In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act that prevented immigration and naturalization. With the exclusion act, a large number of Japanese and Korean laborers arrived to replace the Chinese as cheap labor. A bit later, the Japanese were restricted to the United States, which triggered the Koreans to organize for Korean independence. By 1964 all asian immigrants were denied citizenship and nautralization. This also prevented them from owning land and marrying a Caucasian.

Their activism peaked in the 1960 and 1970s and emphasized solidarity with the US and Third World movements.

        ASIAN AMERICAN WAR:
        Asian Americans who are of Asian descent have fought on behalf of the United States, starting at the War of 1812. Asian Americans fought both for the Union and the Confedercy during the Asian American Civil War. During World War I, Asian Americans fought as non-whites in the National Army, but after that Asian American service became unknown until World War II when The Japanese, Koreans, Chinese and Filipinos all fought.

      - THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS:
        The history of African Americans was like no other. They went through, slavery, inferiority, not having rights. Many blacks were seen as dangerous and criminals. They were also seen as animals because they were apparently uncontrollable and they acted out of their means. African Americans have through so much to get where they are.
        
        SLAVERY:
        Starting in the 17th century and until 1865 people were taken from the African homeland and taken to to American Colonies against their will to work as indentured servants caring for families and working the cottom and tobbacco fields. Slavery of black people started when the Europeans figured out they were cheaper to get than poor european workers. Figures say that, there was around 6 or 7 million african americans taken from their homeland that deprived the country of Africa with their healthiest men and women. Slavery mainly existed in the south and they lived on plantations. Each plantation that used slaves, had around 50 slaves. In the south slaves accounted for 1/3 of the southern population.
        
        SLAVE REVOLTS:
        Slave rebellions did happen in the slave circuit, but weren't historically successful. The most successful and well known slave revolt was led by Nat Turner. His slave revolt was led in Southampton County, Virginia in August of 1831. Turner was inspired by his imagined visions to lead his people to abolish slavery. The rebellion started in the early hours at Nats owners plantation. There wre 7 men that came to the plantation and killed all the white people on the plantation. The plantation was owned by Joseph Travis and his family. The revolt lasted for the next 24 hours. The men went house to house killing ever white person they came across and also took their horses, more weapons and more recruits to continue their rebellion. This rebellion lasted about a day and was ended when the white people began killing the revolters. This revolt led by Nat Turner became a very important american history.
        
        WOMEN IN SLAVERY:
        Women would usually be used as sexual favors and if they were obedient they could be moved up to house servant and not have to work the fields. Slave marriages had zero legal basis but they were encouraged. Large familes were encouraged by slaver owners because it gave them free work once the kids. Many families ended up being split up and sent to work on any different plantations.
        
        ESCAPING SLAVERY:
        Free blacks and antislavery northerners began helping slaves escape from their plantations via a network called the Underground railroad. The conductor of this railway was Harriett Tubman. She guided escape slaves up north to safety. There is a estimation of 40,000-100,000 slaves that were saved through the creation of the underground railroad.
        
        ABOLITION OF SLAVERY:
        In the North, started the Abolitionist movement. The movement to destroy slavery began with the leading role coming from Frederick Douglass, a free black. Many blacks based their activism on the belief that slavery was a sin and that there was no such thing as free labor. Slavery was officially abolished by President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 with the 13th amendment.
        
        THE LEADERS OF SLAVERY:
        Sojourner Truth was an abolitionists and a women rights leader. She was born into slavery, but later escaped with her daughter.
        Frederick Douglass was also another abolitionist who escaped from slavery and ended up being declared a free slave. He is also known for his writings on abolition and slavery.
        Harriett Tubman was the leader of the underground railroad and was also considered a abolitionist and political activist.
        
        BLACK RIGHTS:
        For many years blacks didn't have the same rights as their white peers. Blacks weren't allowed to vote, couldn't use the same things as whites such as water fountains, and they had to sit in the back of the buses. Children had to be racially segregated for schooling. African Americans
        
        CIVIL RIGHTS ACT:
        In 1964 the end of racial, gender, color, and religion segregation ended. This ended segregation at all places of public accommodations like courthouses, parks, restaurants, bathrooms, theaters, and hotels. No longer could people of color be denied service based on their color. This act also paved the way for many other acts to come like, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Fair Housing Act, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
        
        Martin Luther King born January 15 1929 was a pastor and civil rights activist. When he was in school he attended a segregated high school and graduated at the age of 15. He also received his BA degree from a distinguished black institution in Atlanta. After schooling, King became apart of the National Association for the Advancement of colored people. By 1955 King was arrested for being apart of the bus boycott and by 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He was honored the Nobel Piece Prize for his courageous act of helping lead the civil rights movement and getting colored people their right to rights they were once denied. In 1968 he was assassinated while standing on his balcony at his hotel right before he was going to lead a protest march.
      - THE HISTORY OF HISPANICS:
        Since the 1840s' illegal deportations, lynching and school segregation has all come from Anti Latino prejudice. Immigration to the United States hit a high in the 19th century when the railroads were looking for cheap labor build their new tracks. The railroad didn't care about existing immigration laws that banned importing contracted labor and sent people to mexico to convince workers to come to the US and work for cheap. Latinos were segregated to poor areas because of the discrimination of their language and the color of the skin. The stereotype of Latinos who spoke Spanish were they were lazy, stupid, and undeserving of everything the United States had to offer.
        
        In 1931 officers grabbed all Mexican Americans in the area of Los Angeles, many who were US citizens and shoved them into vans. Immigration agents arrested around 400 people and they were deported to Mexico regardless of their status of citizenship or immigration.
        
        The discrimination of Mexicans is largely due the the Mexican American War. In 1848 the United States won the Mexican American War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the Wars end and declared 55% of Mexican territory to the US.
        
        Los Angles was founded by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve in 1781. It was apart of Mexico until the Mexican American War and the United States claimed that land with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Los Angeles is a very diverse city and houses a great number of Hispanic population, Asian population and African American population.
