This database article gives a fairly long history of the Asian American Movement. More in-depth information on the influence of the Vietnam War on the Asian American Movement was found in this article in comparison to the other resources I have cited thus far.

According to this article, the Vietnam War was heavily influential factor that sparked the Asian American Movement. The racism experienced by Asian Americans affected their anti-war protests to be different to those of white people. Asian American activists during the 1970's thought hard about the Vietnam War and about how it underscored racism towards Asian people. Due to the racist nature of the war, Asian American activists held signs that protested against the war's racist aspect instead of ones that advocated for general peace and bringing American soldiers home.
