| Abstract: |
Founded in 1992, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) was created to
address the continued underrepresentation of Asian Pacific American (APA) workers
in the labor movement and the specific challenges APA workers face. The collection
documents many of the activities of the national office and some of the local chapters
of the APALA from its early years through 2009, as well as some of the activities
of other APA organizations. Materials date from the 1970s through 2019, with the
bulk of the material dating from 1992 to 2009. The collection includes paper and
audiovisual materials regarding APALA annual conventions and events; meeting minutes;
photographs of events; reports and audiovisual materials created by other APA groups;
and archived versions of the APALA's websites and the Washington, DC chapter's website.
