Jan. 3 - Jan. 9, 2003

By AsianWeek Staff

2002 was a year of reconstruction, reaction and organizing. As the Bush Administration tried to expand the “War on Terrorism” on all fronts, Asian Pacific Americans had to deal with the nasty side effects, which ranged from secret midnight deportations and continued detentions to the loss of jobs. In response, community-based organizations and leaders doubled their efforts to make their voices heard. More than a few APAs said the reason they ran for office in 2002 was because they saw the need after Sept. 11, which led to some 200 APAs being elected this year. Overall, it was a year of storm clouds and well-earned silver linings.
