I’d like to share with you a personal recollection from the past year that stood out from so many memorable moments, and one that exemplifies our work, as it speaks to the history of Asian American filmmaking within the context of family, community and the larger society. Last March, as a special presentation of the 25th sfiaaff we presented the first public screening in more than 90 years of the first Chinese American feature film, The Curse Of Quon Gwon, directed by a remarkable woman named Marion Wong. The film dramatically tells the story of a young Chinese American bride (played by Marion Wong’s sister-in- law, Violet) and her ordeal to endure the jealousy and harsh treatment of her husband’s first wife (played, with steely relish by Marion Wong herself). Although never truly “lost”, as the film was always in the care of Wong family members, the film had nonetheless escaped the attention of film historians and archivists until word of its existence was passed on to filmmaker Arthur Dong during the research for his caam-supported documentary Hollywood Chinese.

    02_MULLER_FOREWORD.DOC 11/22/2005 11:30 AM LAW AND CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS Volume 68 Spring 2005 Number 2 FOREWORD ERIC L. MULLER* The year 2004 saw the anniversaries of one of the Supreme Court’s most celebrated race decisions and one of its most notorious. The better-known an- niversary was the fiftieth of Brown v. Board of Education,1 on May 17. Its memory was appropriately feted at countless conferences and public events across the country. The lesser-known anniversary was that of Korematsu v. United States,2 which turned sixty on December 18, 2004. A single conference, jointly convened in Los Angeles by the University of North Carolina School of Law, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, and the Japanese American National Museum, commemorated the event.3 The conference, entitled “Judgments Judged and Wrongs Remembered: Examining the Japanese American Civil Liberties Cases of World War II on their Sixtieth Anniversary,” took what might be termed a multi-modal approach to remembering Korematsu, Ex parte Endo,4 Hirabayashi v. United States,5 Ya- sui v. United States,6 and other cases from World War II in which Japanese Americans used the courts to contest their eviction and confinement.7 Surviving Copyright © 2005 by Eric L. Muller This Foreword is also available at http://law.duke.edu/journals/lcp. * George R. Ward Professor of Law, University of North Carolina School of Law. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Professor Sara Sun Beale of Duke Law School, whose early and energetic assistance helped bring this symposium issue to life.
