(MOCA) Newspaper Collection Gidra，亚裔美国社区的新闻期刊，第2卷，1970年1月，美国华人博物馆（MOCA）馆藏报纸
In 1969, five University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) students independently founded Gidra in response to what they perceived as anti-Asian sentiment on the schools campus and Los Angeles area. Initially they sought recognition from the university but after they were denied they decided to publish independently. The newspaper was named after the three headed monster King Ghidorah of the Godzilla franchise.
The paper was in publication for 5 years from 1969 to 1974 with a special anniversary edition in 1990 and five issues in 2000-2001 bringing the total to 66 issues. In its first phase, Gidra focused on the Asian American Movement and identity; its voice became the premier platform for describing the Movement and its goals, especially within the context of the campus and higher education. Gidra’s second phase coincided with increasing national crises, during which time the paper’s scope grew from the personal to encompass the antiwar movement, counterculture, and international perspectives. Gidra’s new focus spurred some of the staff to form a political study group and collective household in order to better analyze and accomplish the Movement’s goals. But ultimately their studies brought Gidra to the conclusion that the paper had finally outlived its usefulness. While Gidra only ran for five years, it critically shaped the Asian American Movement and inspired the creation of other similar publications and organizations.
1969年，5名加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的学生独立创刊了Gidra，以回应他们所感受到的在校园里和洛杉矶地区的反亚裔情绪。起初，他们寻求学校的支持，但被拒绝后，他们决定独立出版。该报纸以哥斯拉专营的三头怪王Ghidorah的名字命名。
该报纸从1969年至1974年出版了5年，并在1990年出版了周年特刊，在2000年至2001年出版了5期，一共66期。在第一阶段，Gidra关注的是亚裔美国人运动和身份认同，它的声音成为描述该运动及其目标的首要平台，特别是在校园和高等教育的背景下。Gidra的第二阶段恰逢日益严重的国家危机，在此期间，该报纸的话题范围从个人发展到包括反战运动、反主流文化和国际视角。Gidra的新焦点促使一些工作人员成立了一个政治研究小组和集体生活，以便更好地分析和实现运动的目标。但最终他们的研究把Gidra带到了这样一个结局——这份报纸最终失去了它的作用。尽管Gidra只运营了五年，但它对亚裔美国人运动产生了至关重要的影响，并激发了其他类似出版物和组织的诞生。
