WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON RYU GWAN-SUN

Ryu Gwan-Sun was a teenage, Korean revolutionary hero and intricate figure in Korea’s independence from Japanese occupation. In 1919, political groups disbanded by the Japanese, along with Christians, teachers and students, began to organize for a free Korea. They met in secret, wrote their own declaration of independence and planned public demonstrations of resistance. On March 1st, the first public gathering took place and demonstrators marched through the streets of Seoul reading their demands out loud and shouting “long live Korean independence!” One of the protesters present at the March 1st uprising was the young Ryu Gwan-Sun—a student from rural Korea studying in the capital.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON YELLOW PEARL

Many are not aware that Asian Americans were active in the 1960s and 1970s political art scene. From poets to visual artists, filmmakers and musicians, Asian Americans led their radical voices through the arts. Yellow Pearl was an Asian-American folk group known for its political messages calling for civil rights, racial solidarity and Asian American visibility and empowerment. The group was founded by Chris Kando Iijima, Charlie Chin and Nobuko JoAnne Miyamoto—three Asian-American artists who became known on the activism scene for their politically-charged lyrics and melodic sounds. Based in New York City, the group wrote songs about the Asian experience in the United States, spoke against global imperialism and preformed before multiethnic crowds. They lent their voices to Black and Latino radical communities, and Miyatmoto would befriend fellow Japanese American activist, Yuri Kochiyama, while performing at a Black nationalists event. Their album, A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle by Asians in America, touched on themes of identity struggle, along with racial solidarity amongst oppressed peoples. The song, Somos Asiaticos (We are Asians) was written and performed in Spanish to show unity with the Latino communities in NYC, highlighting the common struggles between peoples of color in the United States. With songs like Imperialism is Another Word for Hunger, Wandering Chinaman and We Are the Children, Yellow Pearl was the radical voice of a generation.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON Haunani-Kay Trask

Haunani-Kay Trask is an Indigenous Hawaiian educator, activist, Hawaiian nationalist, author, poet, filmmaker and all-around badass. Born in 1949 to a politically active family, many of whom advocated for Hawaiian statehood, Trask has dedicated her life to advocating for a free and independent Hawaiʻi and to keeping Hawaiian culture alive while brutalized under imperial rule. Trask became heavily involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement while studying at the University of Wisconsin, and she became an active supporter of the Black Panther Party while studying at the University of Chicago. It was during her university studies that she made the connection to the symbiotic relationship that racism and capitalism share, and how the system exploits marginalized communities across the globe. Trask has worked tirelessly advocating for Hawaiian sovereignty, has participated in, and organized, protests for land rights. Trask famously confronted white male anthropologists who claimed expertise on Hawaiian culture and politics and spent years teaching at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa on the subjects of Polynesian women, political movements in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Islands. She is a founding member of the Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies at the university and has written numerous books. Trask anchored and produced First Friday, a monthly public television show highlighting cultural and political issues that impact Native Hawaiians. In 2019, she was awarded the Angela Y. Davis Prize for her work in education, activism and the arts.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON WIFREDO LAM

Wifredo Lam was a world-renowned Afro-Chinese Cuban artist, who built his career around reviving the Afro-Cuban spirit through art. Lam’s father was a Chinese immigrant and his mother an Afro-Cuban. His artistic interests took him to Spain, where he studied under Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor y Zaragoza—Salvador Dalí’s teacher. His years in Spain led him to a friendship with Pablo Picasso and other famous European painters of the era; he also spent time living in France, where he was an intricate part of the thriving art community. Upon returning to Cuba, Lam began reaching deep into his African heritage, creating figures in his work that fused human and plant elements—influences that came from African poetry and culture. In solidarity with the Cuban Revolution, he gifted a painting for the presidential palace that currently hangs in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana. Lam’s work can be found in fine art museums all over the world and he held hundreds of exhibits in his lifetime.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON SUSHMA SHIMKHADA

Sushma Shimkhada was a revolutionary Nepalese sculptor, known for her stunning and creative works. Born in 1936, Shimkhada is hailed as Nepal’s first female sculptor, and was a rebel-feminist and ahead of her time. Entering the sculpting scene as a woman anywhere in the world took courage, but attempting to break into the scene in her native Nepal was a particularly daunting task due to cultural gender expectations and the fact that it was a male-dominated space. She proposed radical feminist ideals through her art, with a special focus on the power of the womb as the center of all creation. The womb was a sacred place that birthed creativity and every woman could reach deep into its divine power. She used her work as a medium of Hindu feminism long before anyone was ready to hear her message. While Shimkhada faced discrimination and hardships in her journey as a female sculptor in a male-dominated profession, she would eventually find recognition, win awards for her work and hold international exhibitions.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON XANANA GUSMÃO

Xanana Gusmão is an independence leader and politician from East Timor who served as the country’s first president and fourth prime minister respectively. He was an active member of Fretilin (Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor), a group committed to abolishing the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. In 1975, the Portuguese left East Timor after over 400 years of colonial rule; nine days later, Indonesian forces invaded that island nation. Gusmão was at the forefront of the resistance, spending days walking throughout various villages recruiting soldiers and gathering support from the community. Gusmão would soon use the international media as a means to draw attention to their struggle and inform the world of atrocities such as the massacre of Santa Cruz—the shooting of over 250 pro-independence protestors. Gusmão was eventually arrested and sentenced to life in prison. The sentence was reduced to 20 years, and he was placed under house arrest in 1999. Gusmão was able to aid in negotiations with the Indonesian government that eventually led to an independent East Timor.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON MEENA KESHWAR KAMAL

Meena Keshwar Kamal was an Afghan feminist and revolutionary political activist who fought for women’s rights in Afghanistan. Kamal founded the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), a Marxist organization that seeks to empower Afghan women in society and encourage them in their radical voices.

Her heart as an activist was cultivated even deeper when she attended university, so much so that she left her studies to devote herself to organizing and women’s education initiatives. Kamal founded a bilingual magazine that encouraged feminist thought. She also openly stood against Russian military invaders and organized the public against their influence. Kamal was assassinated in 1987 for her revolutionary efforts.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON PHILIP VERA CRUZ

Vue Pa Chay was a Hmong revolutionary hero who led his people in a revolt against French colonization in South East Asia—the region was known then as French Indochina. To fund the expenses of WWI, the French began to impose heavy taxes on the countries of Indochina; the Hmong people, who were marginalized within the region, paid the heaviest burden. One of the tax demands of the French government was o***m, and the governments within Indochina put extreme burdens on Hmong people to fulfill the demand. When unable to pay, tax collectors would confiscate livestock and other possessions. Some families were forced to sell their own children to produce tax money and many committed su***de due to the pressures. Orphaned as a child, Chay was raised by relatives in a Hmong village in Northwestern Vietnam, near the border of China. He would eventually marry, have a child and claim that God called him to liberate the Hmong people from Tai and French oppressors; he would do outrageous acts to prove this calling such as making balls of cotton explode. Many began to reverence Chay, and his reputation grew. He began to build a coalition of Hmong nationalists throughout Vietnam, Lao and China, with the aim of organizing a rebellion against the French. While French-sympathizing Hmong considered Chay a madman, Hmong nationalists regarded him as a messiah figure who would restore them to their own kingdom. As the numbers began to grow, the movement became self-sustained with Hmong-made weapons and ammunition. Chay and his soldiers began attacking and won many battles as the French were ill-prepared to fight in the jungle. The French would eventually attempt to squash the rebellion by hiring mercenaries to kill Chay; he was executed and the mercenaries each paid 500 bars of silver. Chay’s bravery and passion for independence inspired the governments of Vietnam and Lao to name a military squadron after him.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON Queen Liliʻuokalani

Liliʻuokalani, born Lydia Kamakaaeha, was the queen and last ruling monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. She was the first and only queen to rule the Hawaiian islands, reigning from 1891 until they were seized and stolen by the imperial government of the United States of America. Liliʻuokalani ascended to the throne in 1891 after the death of her brother. By the time she would rule, much of the monarchy’s power had been dissolved by a new constitution that favored mostly white wealthy landowners and elite businessmen who resided on the island. In the 1800s, pineapple and sugar production in Hawaii was a booming business; much of the wealth and production was owned by white, U.S. businessmen who were constantly at odds with the Hawaiian monarchy and wanted Hawaiʻi to become a part of the United States to protect their financial interests. When Liliʻuokalani’s brother, David, was king, he was forced at gunpoint by white militia to sign the Bayonet Constitution; it not only limited the monarchy’s power, but also stated that only Hawaiian and white men who were wealthy had the ability to vote. When Liliʻuokalani became queen, she rejected the new “constitution” and proposed her own that restored full power to the Hawaiian monarchy and voting rights for the poor. The audacity of her demands angered the white elite, and they decided that she must be overthrown—a coup d'état was soon in order.

WE SHED TODAYS SPOTLIGHT ON GIDRA ZINE STAFF
In the 1960s, university campuses around the world were set ablaze by activism for change, anti-war protests and students of color embracing their ethnic identities like never before. Asian Americans were extremely active on the political scene in the United States, debunking all myths of being the silent minorities lurking in the shadows. Built on a coalition of Black and Brown students, Asian Americans were in the front lines of the 1968 protests demanding ethnic studies programs on university campuses. They were arrested alongside Black, Latino and Native American students, and they protested in radical ways across campuses, causing social disruption. The term “Asian American” had just been coined, and Asian-American students were demanding that their voices were heard and their histories taught. They were angry, organized, radical and reaching back deep into their ethic roots and identities. They were not orientals, but Asians loud and proud. In 1969, a group of radical Asian-American students at UCLA created the first Asian-centered radical zine, Gidra—named after a dragon in the Godzilla movie. The publication centered on activism, radical politics, justice and the gentrification of Asian neighborhoods. Its contributors were labor activists, historians and others who were involved in the movement. Gidra addressed controversial issues: they were heavily involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement, they struggled for Asian visibility, supported anti-imperialist and anti-capitalism world views and stood in solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.To learn more visit: (https://www.negrabohemian.com/blog/aapi-heritage-month)
