AAM (Asian American Movement)

The Asian American Movement (AAM) was a socio-political effort in the late 1960s and 1970s aimed at addressing discrimination, advocating for civil rights, and empowering Asian American communities. Inspired by broader civil rights movements, it sought to challenge stereotypes, fight racism, and promote awareness of Asian cultural identity. AAM organized protests, educational programs, and activism to combat systemic injustices faced by Asian Americans, fostering a sense of solidarity and political consciousness. It played a key role in shaping identity, community cohesion, and social justice initiatives for Asian Americans in the United States.
