The Pui Tak Center, formerly known as the On Leong Merchants Association Building, is a building located in Chicago's Chinatown. Designed by architects Christian S. Michaelsen and Sigurd A. Rognstad, the building was built for the On Leong Merchants Association and opened in 1928. The Association used it as an immigrant assistance center, and the building was informally referred to as Chinatown's "city hall". In 1988, the FBI and Chicago Police raided the building as part of a racketeering investigation. The US federal government seized the building that same year.The building was purchased by the Chinese Christian Union Church (CCUC) for $1.4 million and renamed the Pui Tak Center in 1993. That same year, the On Leong Merchants Association Building was designated a Chicago landmark by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. The CCUC spent $1 million raised from community donations to renovate and update the building's neglected interior. The newly named Pai Tak Center now hosts various religious, community, and educational programs, such as English-as-a-Second-Language courses (ESL).In 2007, the Pui Tak Center won a $100,000 grant from the Partners in Preservation, a program sponsored by American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In preparation for the restoration work, the structural and architectural engineering firm Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates completed an evaluation of the building's eastern and southern facades, focusing on its terra cotta portions. Restoration work began in spring 2009 and is scheduled for completion in early 2010. Fully restoring the building's exterior terra cotta pieces and clay roof tiles is the first step in a long-range $2 million repair plan.

Free Innocent Prisoners: Over the years the NAARPR has successfully campaigned for the release of many persons falsely charged and sentenced to death or to long prison terms. Currently the CAARPR is working to get an Executive clemency petition for Mark A. Clements, who served more then 28 years behind prison walls for a crime that he did not commit. On August 18, 2009, he won his freedom and now works with the CAARPR as Prison Liaison and coordinator for the struggle against wrongful convictions. Chicago police working under the command of Jon Burge tortured hundreds of Black and Latino men. We are working to win hearings and new trials for 20 of them who remain incarcerated. We have investigated two of those cases: Stanley Wrice and Antonio Nicholas. We are convinced they are innocent and were convicted only by confessions made under torture. We are struggling for the release of Nicole Harris, a young Chicago mother accused of killing her son who was coerced to confess. We are also struggling for freedom for Derrick Searcy, James Harris, Michael Harris, Clayborn Smith, Charles Solo Harris and a host of others. See our web site for information on these cases, http://www.naarpr.org. Systematic Racism: In this country African Americans and Latinos continue to be affected by racism. We struggle against all forms of white supremacy, and we understand that this struggle is at the center of the fight against racist and political repression. Abolish the Death Penalty: The U.S.A. has more people on death row than any other country in the world. The CAARPR works with other organizations in a campaign to end the death penalty. The moratorium in Illinois has helped thrust this issue on the national agenda, resulting in the introduction of several National Death Penalty Moratorium bills in Congress. Two States have abolished capital punishment. Texas leads the country in executions, in spite of evidence of innocence. We work to abolish all capital punishment. Expose the Prison Industrial Complex: The CAARPR has been in the forefront of the struggle against the prison-industrial complex, one of the fastest growing industries in the country. Its profits depend on the incarceration of more than two million people - mostly African Americans - and most for non-violent crimes. The CAARPR works to draw the connections between this intolerable situation and the white supremacy and class exploitation that lies at its roots. Secure Health Care for Prisoners: The CAARPR is working to hold the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) and the County Jails across the state to the standard of the Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which bans cruel and unusual punishment, including the denial of medical care to prisoners. Our highest priority is to work for a rapid and responsive procedure independent of the IDOC through which prisoners being denied care can protest and be heard. We often Intervene directly with IDOC medical staff to address urgent crises in medical care when we are aware of them. We work in coalitions aimed at winning legislation to improve the situation. We are actively reviewing medical records and complaints from prisoners to document this problem and explore action to compel a system-wide solution to this problem. We have exposed and brought legal action in the case of Montell Johnson, which is an example of what's wrong with the system. We have won the medical treatment he needs, and his sentence was commuted on humanitarian grounds by Governor Blagojevich. However, Johnson remains a prisoner because of a hold on him by the State of California. Establish Civilian Control of Police: From its inception, the NAARPR campaigned against police crimes, primarily against the poor and people of color. Model Legislation to establish a Civilian Police Control Board that holds police officers accountable for their actions has been drafted and circulated. At the same time we are cooperating with other groups that have drafted ordinances to achieve the same goal of police accountability to the citizens of the city of Chicago. Support Affirmative Action: We defend and call for extension of affirmative action programs to end the legacy of white supremacy and genocide practiced against peoples of color in the United States. We also struggle for full representation of Black people and others in the elected bodies of city, state, and federal government. Human Rights Award: The CAARPR has established a Human Rights Award which is presented to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of justice and human rights. The CAARPR maintains relations with other former branches of the NAARPR in Kentucky and Nevada.
