Asian American movement refers to a pan-Asian movement in the United States in which Americans of Asian descent came together to fight against their perceived shared oppression and to organize for recognition and advancement of their shared cause that occurred between the 1960's-1980's. According to William Wei, the movement was "rooted in a past history of oppression and a present struggle for liberation." The third moment was the community struggle against the eviction of Filipino/a residents from the International Hotel (San Francisco) in December 1968.
