Our first step toward activism began with a single ethnicity-focus organization: The Korean American Youth Council. Originally founded by a current high school student, Brian Jon, the organization was established in response to an incident at Bergen County Academies where a Spanish teacher’s anti-Korean/racist remark, “I hate Koreans”. This incident quickly became a wide-spread issue. This occurrence led youth councils all over New Jersey to gather to raise the voices of Korean Americans. From there, the Asian American Youth Council was created with a new goal in mind—to not only represent a single ethnicity, but instead to have the purpose of embracing all Asian Americans residing in the United States.
