Over a century ago, for the first time in religious history, Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, in announcing God's purpose for the age, proclaimed the principle of the equality of women and men, saying: "Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God." The establishment of equal rights and privileges for women and men, Baha'u'llah says, is a precondition for the attainment of a wider unity that will ensure the well-being and security of all peoples. The Baha'i Writings state emphatically that "When all mankind shall receive the same opportunity of education and the equality of men and women be realized, the foundations of war will be utterly destroyed."

As America enters a new millenium, we are still struggling with how to achieve racial justice. Solving the "race problem" must come from an understanding of new realities as Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) emerge as a driving force behind this transformation. The State of Asian Pacific America: Transforming Race Relations is the fourth major public policy research report produced by the LEAP Asian Pacific American Public Policy Institute and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center. In this report, the authors document how racial identity is created and embodied in individual attitudes and institutional practices and argue for policies that go beyond the black-white paradigm.

This lecture will offer a critical analysis of the events that led to the FBI manhunt, arrest, and prosecution of African American leader Angela Davis between 1970 and 1972. Attention to the racism and sexism of the criminal justice system, the prison system, and the criminalization of Davis will lend historical evidence to current struggles against the prison-industrial complex and for the freedom of political prisoners. Critical analysis will also show how gendered and racial formations are interlocking systems of domination.

On the one hand, it labeled Mexican Americans, and in particular Mexican American youth, as a criminally inclined element within the community.
