Piece Description
Winner of the George Foster Peabody Award in 2007 Hosted by George Takei (pronounced Tah-kay) Keep Asians Out has been the consistent message toward Asian immigrants ever since the Exclusion Act of 1882. Hear about immigration laws through their effects on individuals - the incarceration and interrogation of Chinese at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, court cases brought by Sikh and Japanese Americans to redefine "white," laws enticing Filipinos to leave the country, and the current issues of Cambodian American deportation. Very timely in view of the current immigration debate. This program has a newscast hole and minute-long music breaks at :19 and :39 minutes after the hour.
THE ACTUAL SHOW LENGTH IS 59 MINUTES. THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THIS SHOW DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WANT TO RUN IT.
