Dear Friends; AACP remains concerned about the atmosphere of fear that is being created by national and international events. Our mission of reminding others of the past is as important today as it was 37 years ago when we initiated our project. Your words of encouragement sustain our efforts. Over the past year, we have experienced an exciting growth. We are proud of publishing our new book, In Good Conscience: Supporting Japanese Americans During the Internment, by the Northern California MIS Kansha Project and Shizue Seigel. AACP continues to be active in publishing. We have published thirteen books with three additional books now in development. Our website continues to grow by leaps and bounds thanks to the hard work of Leonard Chan and his diligent staff. We introduce at least five books every month and offer them at a special limited time introductory price to our newsletter subscribers. Find us at AsianAmericanBooks.com. AACP, Inc. continues to attend over 30 events annually, assisting non-profit organizations in their fund raising and providing Asian American book services to many educational organizations. Your contributions help us to provide these services. AACP, Inc. continues to be operated by a dedicated staff of volunteers. We invite you to request our catalogs for distribution to your associates, organizations and educational conferences. All you need do is call us at (650) 375-8286, email [email protected] or write to P.O. Box 1587, San Mateo, CA 94401.

AACP is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate the general public about Asian Pacific American culture, history, and current experiences to combat prejudice and hate, to right and prevent civil injustices (resulting from prejudice and hate), to promote self- awareness, and to foster compassion, understanding, and tolerance. AACP's goal is to do more than educate Asian Pacific Islander Americans about their own culture, heritage, and history, we hope to reach all Americans, because prejudice and hate comes from ignorance, and tolerance and compassion comes from better understanding. AACP believes that the knowledge, which comes from the use of appropriate materials, can accomplish these goals. Therefore we promote, distribute, sell, and produce quality books and materials dealing with the Asian Pacific American experience. Through participation in educational and cultural events, mailings, and the Internet we reach our target audience - librarians, educators, and the general public. AACP has received many awards and commendations from such organizations as KQED TV, the Japanese American Citizens League, the Association for Asian American Studies, and San Francisco Nikkei Educators.

How you can help: • Purchasing books and materials through AACP. While satisfying your own needs for knowledge, a purchase with us will also help to support our mission of advocacy and creation of good quality Asian Pacific American books and materials. • Providing financial support. AACP also welcomes your direct financial support without a purchase. Your donations can be directed towards supporting our general mission or towards sponsoring a worthy project that we may be working on - such as our intern program or the production of various educational materials. • Volunteer. Almost all of AACP's duties are performed by volunteers and student interns. AACP has a wide range of needs. We need help in everything from newsletter writing to grant writing, from reading and reviewing books to moving books, from sales people to shoppers, and much more. No matter your skill level, we always welcome your help. Please feel free to contact us about our volunteer and intern programs. Your work will greatly enhance AACP’s missions and be of great benefit to you too. • Publishing and creating educational materials with AACP. If you have a book or some other educational item that you would like us to help you with, we would be glad to hear from you. AACP provides a wide range of services - from finding people and organizations to help you create your project to the distribution and promotion of it. • Staying informed. Never stop learning and sharing your knowledge with others and us. Keep abreast of issues and materials concerning Asian Pacific Americans and all Americans by visiting our website and by reading our newsletter. To subscribe to the AACP newsletter, visit our website at http://AsianAmericanBooks.com/newslet.htm.

Your contributions will greatly help foster understanding and acceptance of Asian Pacific Americans. For more information, visit our website AsianAmericanBooks.com. If you have any questions or concern, please call us at 650.375.8286 or email us at [email protected].

A SHORT HISTORY OF ASIAN AMERICAN CURRICULUM PROJECT, INC.

In 1969 a group of educators began to meet at the San Mateo home of Florence Yoshiwara (now Hongo). Those original founding members - Hisako Kawasaki (now Yamauchi), Sadao Kinoshita, Miyo Kirita, Astor Mizuhara, Kathy Reyes, Donald Y. Sekimura, Stella Takahashi, Shirley Tanaka (now Shimada), Rosie Taniguchi (now Shimonishi), Edison Uno, Shizue Yoshina, and Florence Yoshiwara - saw a need that could be filled by energy and commitment. By 1970 they became an official non-profit corporation called Japanese American Curriculum Project, Inc. (JACP).

JACP spent the first few months researching and discussing what kinds of educational materials were needed. The few elementary books that existed on Japanese Americans justified the 1942 internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans. JACP set out to tell the story of the internment from the point of view of those who had experienced it. Their efforts eventually resulted in the creation of an elementary level book called Japanese Americans: The Untold Story, some filmstrips, and several booklets. At that time many Japanese Americans themselves were unable to deal with their awful internment experiences and because of that, JACP’s work caused much controversy in the community and the wider public.

By 1975, JACP began to go to conferences to display Japanese American educational materials. Some teachers were shocked by the items that dealt with the Japanese American internment and challenged the value and rationale of teaching such a controversial subject in the classroom. JACP persisted and as teachers became more informed, those difficulties were resolved and teachers began to welcome the information.

As time went by, teachers expressed a need for other Asian Pacific American (APA) educational materials so JACP began to broaden their collection to reach and cover all APAs. In those early years there was very little being developed or published on and for APAs, but JACP filled this need by searching out and promoting the quality materials that they found.

Eventually JACP became the Asian American Curriculum Project, Inc. and today we continue to do what we’ve always done - promote, distribute, sell, and produce quality books and materials dealing with the Asian Pacific American experience. COME AND VISIT OUR STORE
