Pending</strong><br/> By Sameen Haque & Sumana Tumpa, South Asian Network</p> <p>"Status... Pending" is an exploration about what people in the Bangladeshi Koreatown community think about citizenship, as seen by Bangladeshi youth. As a young community, with some coming as early as 1970s, some as recent as last year, there are over 10,000 Bangladeshis living in K-town and Los Angeles. Given the anti-immigrant sentiment on people of color, youth first found it important to ask people in the community "what citizenship means to you?" After many interviews, however, the youth began to realize that there is no easy question to ask when thinking about a heavy topic like "citizenship" as the experiences by community members challenge the very idea of being a citizen. </p> Democracy Forum General NCPD Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:04:48 -0800 http://www.ncdemocracy.org/node/1870 <h3><font color="red">Sign-up for a FREE Pre-Visit Workshop</font></h3> <p><b>Thursday, April 10, 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM (Dinner provided)</b></p> <p> <b>WHAT IS <i>FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY</i>?</b><br/> For hundreds of years people have sought a home and future in the United States of America.
