Stan related how growing up in the turbulent '60's and '70's began to impel him into activism in the Bay Area, beginning with AAPI issues on campuses. He described how his activism continued with he and his young family's move to Seattle. Stan first became involved in supporting the redress movement after attending the hearings of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment. Throughout the 2000's Stan has continued his strong activism in Tsuru for Solidarity, protesting the condition of the detainees along the southern border as well as the local detention center in Tacoma. Stan, in his role as Seattle JACL president, has helped the Seattle Chapter connect with these and other movements for social justice and peace.","extent":"1:11:54","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2-33","creators":[{"role":"narrator","id":1009,"namepart":"Stan Shikuma"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Ana Tanaka"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Dr. Kyle Kinoshita"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","creation":"11-Feb-22","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Stan Shikuma narrator \nAna Tanaka interviewer \nDr. Kyle Kinoshita interviewer","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-33-1-mezzanine-4d28718cbf-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-96-659","model":"entity","index":"8 3083/{'value': 3101, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-96-659/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-96-659/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-96/ddr-densho-96-659-mezzanine-a378f91c1f-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-96/ddr-densho-96-659-mezzanine-a378f91c1f-a.jpg"},"title":"Japanese American Courier Vol. 13, No. 624 (January 1, 1940)","description":"Selected article titles: \"Citizenship Urged for Young People\" (p. 1), \"War Even in Our Own Boarders, Declares Seattle Council Women\" (p. 2), \"High Hope Held for Young Folk, Consul-General Satow Declares\" (p. 3), \"We Still Want Peace\" (p. 4), \"Better Cultural Relations\" (p. 5); \"Foreign Trade means High Rank In Civilization, Says Exporter\" (p. 6); \"Young People of Vision Big Need, Declares Pastor\" (p. 7); \"Democracy means Peace, Equality For All; Will Battle For Justice\" (p. 8); JACL Expanded Widely in 1939, Says National Head Tsukamoto\" (p. 9); \"Important Work For Youth Shown By Takeo Nogaki\" (p. 16); \"Tolerance And Education Will Do Much For Aiding Democracy\" (p. 16); \"Toshi Sees Good Farming Outlook For Young Folks\" (p. 16); \"Soil Only Base of Civilization Declare Oles, Association Head\" (p. 17); \"Japan Launching 1940 To Honor 2600th Year of the Empire\" (p. 17); \"Only Pressure Groups Succeed In World Defying Individuals\" (p. 18)","extent":"18W x 24H","links_children":"ddr-densho-96-659","creators":[{"role":"publisher","namepart":"Japanese American Courier"},{"role":"editor","nr_id":"88922/nr005zs57","namepart":"Sakamoto, James Yoshinori"}],"topics":[{"term":"Journalism and media -- Community publications","id":"26"},{"term":"Geographic communities -- Washington -- Seattle","id":"293"},{"term":"Activism and involvement","id":"120"},{"term":"Immigration and citizenship","id":"1"},{"term":"Identity and values","id":"42"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Timber","id":"9"},{"term":"Identity and values -- Kibei","id":"45"},{"term":"World War II","id":"399"},{"term":"Arts and literature -- Literary arts -- Essays","id":"240"},{"term":"Community activities -- Sports","id":"24"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Agriculture -- Farming","id":"345"},{"term":"Industry and employment -- Aviation","id":"438"},{"term":"Japan","id":"108"},{"term":"Community activities -- Festivals, celebrations, and holidays","id":"25"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Japanese American Courier"},{"nr_id":"88922/nr005zs57","namepart":"Sakamoto, James Yoshinori"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"periodical","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"January 1, 1940","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Japanese American Courier publisher \nSakamoto, James Yoshinori editor 88922nr005zs57Japanese American Courier \nSakamoto, James Yoshinori 88922nr005zs57","download_large":"ddr-densho-96-659-mezzanine-a378f91c1f-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-119-26","model":"entity","index":"9 3084/{'value': 3101, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-119-26/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-119-26/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-119/ddr-densho-119-26-mezzanine-7c44d8151f-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-119/ddr-densho-119-26-mezzanine-7c44d8151f-a.jpg"},"title":"Minidoka Irrigator Vol. II No. 10 (February 3, 1943)","description":"Selected article titles: \"War Dept's Action Hailed By Local Nisei Leaders\" (p. 1), \"Calling All Volunteers!\" (p. 1), \"Seek to Prohibit Residence Of Alien Japanese In Wash.\" (p. 1), \"Editorial: The Acid Test\" (p. 2), \"JACL Drive Success Seen\" (p. 3), \"Group Leaves to Survey Share-Crop Propositions\" (p. 3), \"Article In Missions About Evacuees Disappointing.

Description about this volume reads directly from the book as follows: Section 1 contains archival documents from April 1942 about the growing opposition of western officials outside of the West Coast to having Japanese Americans moved to their localities. Section 2 contains the Federal government Surveys of Public Opinion dated January 1942 to August 1942 that thoroughly and unscientifically attempted to gauge public opinion, done by the federal Office of Government Reports. The surveys were also circulated among high government officials. Section 3 contains documents dated March 1942 to November 1944 that concerns the complex relationship between the Japanese American Citizens League and the Federal Government. The leadership of the Japanese American Citizens league, as the correspondence here shows, perceived that the political heads of the U.S. Army, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Assistant Secretary John J. McCloy and his uniformed staff, were likely targets of a \"how to win friends and influence people\" approach which even included small gifts. Perceptively, no such approach was made to General John L. DeWitt, Colonel Karl R. Bendetsen, or their subordinates. In recent years, there has been increasing criticism of what some have termed the \"over-enthusiastic collaboration\" between the JACL and the Army.","extent":"1 book: 8.75W x 11.25H","links_children":"ddr-densho-372-4","creators":[{"role":"Editor","namepart":"Daniels, Roger"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Japanese American Citizens League"},{"namepart":"Stimson, Henry L."},{"namepart":"McCloy, John J."},{"namepart":"De Witt, General John L."},{"namepart":"Bendetsen, Colonel Karl"}],"contributor":"Densho","geography":[{"term":"North and Central America","id":"332"},{"term":"United States","id":"1"}],"rights":"cc","genre":"book","creation":"c. 1989","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Daniels, Roger Editor Japanese American Citizens League \nStimson, Henry L. \nMcCloy, John J. \nDe Witt, General John L. \nBendetsen, Colonel Karl","download_large":"ddr-densho-372-4-mezzanine-919d5a653e-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-sjacl-2-42","model":"entity","index":"18 3093/{'value': 3101, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-sjacl-2-42/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-sjacl-2-42/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-42-1-mezzanine-6448eb3b4e-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-42-1-mezzanine-6448eb3b4e-a.jpg"},"title":"The Kurose Family Interview","description":"Elaine Kim led a panel interview of Ruthann, Paul, and Mika Kurose.

Paul has made meaningful contributions as a teacher in the field of education, and represents the family in the annual JACL AKi Kurose college scholarships provided. Ruthann reflected on her lifetime work with civil rights and social justice included the importance of showing up and as John Lewis stated that \"when you see something is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up, say something, do something.\" Mika shared her experiences working on President Obama's clemency initiative and the wide disparities between black and brown people and white people who are incarcerated in prisons for low-level, non-violent drug crimes and how this speaks to multiple societal, system issues including having little or no access to good schools or healthcare. There is much, ongoing work to be done and how building community coalitions and the values held by the Quakers, whom Aki Kurose was taught and influenced by, are those of pacifism and non-violent conflict resolution.","extent":"1:28:12","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2-42","creators":[{"role":"narrator","id":1040,"namepart":"Ruthann Kurose"},{"role":"narrator","id":1042,"namepart":"Paul Kurose"},{"role":"narrator","id":1041,"namepart":"Mika Kurose Rothman"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Elaine Kim"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Joy Misako St. Germain"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","creation":"23-Apr-22","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Ruthann Kurose narrator \nPaul Kurose narrator \nMika Kurose Rothman narrator \nElaine Kim interviewer \nJoy Misako St. Germain interviewer","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-42-1-mezzanine-6448eb3b4e-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-446-448","model":"entity","index":"19 3094/{'value': 3101, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-446-448/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-446-448/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-448-mezzanine-35b1b01e01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-446/ddr-densho-446-448-mezzanine-35b1b01e01-a.jpg"},"title":"Ryo Tsai Draft Narrative re: Origin of NKHA Exhibit","description":"Ryo Tsai explained how the Nippon Kan Heritage Association (NKHA) Exhibit was conceived and implemented.

Noguchi Interview","description":"Thomas Noguchi was the first Japanese American to serve as the Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner of Los Angeles Country. Well-known for conducting autopsies of public figures such as Robert F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and William Holden, Noguchi was in the position between 1967 and 1982. As a Shin Issei immigrant born in Japan (in 1927) and trained in medicine in both Japan and the United States, Noguchi faced racial prejudice especially early in his career, leading to a dismissal from the position in 1969. The Japanese American community and organizations, including the Japanese American Citizens League, made a concerted effort to reinstate him, a campaign that proved successful. Noguchi felt \"grateful,\" and when US survivors ask for his assistance to organize themselves in 1970, he felt as if it was a good opportunity to give back to the community. He enlisted support for US hibakusha from the California State Senator Mervyn Dymally and the U.S. Congressman Edward Roybal. They authored the bills that would have established a publicly funded program for medical care and treatment of radiation illnesses among US survivors. Although both the state and federal bills failed, Noguchi's collaborative effort with the politicians of color reveal changing racial and class relations in the state and national politics in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Noguchi's interview includes a discussion of his work with key leaders of the US survivors' organization, his communication with the JACL, and the public hearings for the medical bills.","extent":"0:54:01","links_children":"ddr-densho-1021-8","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":969,"namepart":"Thomas T.
