Ray was first involved with JACL in the late 80's and early 90's encouraged by community leader Al Sugiyama and others, including Janice Deguchi and Joy Misako St. Germain, who encouraged Ray to run for the office of Seattle JACL President. Ray reflected on organized efforts at time, such as Initiative 200 to end affirmative action, and opposition against the gay and lesbian community. JACL was beginning to find new paths as a civil rights organization, such as collaborating and supporting the American Jewish Committee and the LGBTQIA community. The JACL membership was the powerful force then as it is today to rally the community on issues that impact everyone. JACL started to move beyond the focus on redress to work with other racial and ethnic communities and took the work to a new level, with younger leaders taking on leadership roles. As he and his family are Seattle natives, he expressed hope and gratitude for the recent work of JACL to support Black Lives Matter and on immigration issues. His work on the Pike Place Market Council and the progress seen in the area of minority and women owned businesses demonstrates how much impact volunteer work can have to make positive change. His parents' experiences. being incarcerated during WWII and his upbringing had a tremendous influence on his not taking for granted the importance of continuing the work of civil rights and social justice. He believes that the success of JACL is due to the ongoing commitment of the membership and leadership."},{"id":"ddr-pc-25-39","model":"entity","index":"7 707/{'value': 997, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-pc-25-39/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-pc-25-39/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-pc-25/ddr-pc-25-39-mezzanine-1d81acf738-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-pc-25/ddr-pc-25-39-mezzanine-1d81acf738-a.jpg"},"title":"The Pacific Citizen, Vol. 37 No. 13 (September 25, 1953)","description":"Selected article titles: \"Aiso first Mainland Nisei named judge, to L.A. municipal bench\" (p. 1), \"JACL to join gov't fight on job bias\" (p. 1), \"Largest mass swear-in rites of Hawaii includes 136 Japanese\" (p. 1), \"Naturalization barred to Issei who requested draft exemption by alienage\" (p. 1), \"Seattle JACL honors 151 naturalized Issei at 'I Am An American' Day fete\" (p. 3).","extent":"Pacific Citizen","links_children":"ddr-pc-25-39","creators":[{"role":"publisher","namepart":"The Japanese American Citizens League"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Pacific Citizen","rights":"cc","genre":"periodical","location":"Los Angeles, California","creation":"September 25, 1953","status":"completed","search_hidden":"The Japanese American Citizens League publisher","download_large":"ddr-pc-25-39-mezzanine-1d81acf738-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-chijacl-1-13","model":"entity","index":"8 708/{'value': 997, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-chijacl-1-13/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-chijacl-1-13/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-chijacl-1/ddr-chijacl-1-13-mezzanine-286ec837a2-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-chijacl-1/ddr-chijacl-1-13-mezzanine-286ec837a2-a.jpg"},"title":"An Appeal for Action to Obtain Redress for the World War II Evacuation and Imprisonment of Japanese Americans","description":"","extent":"8.5W x 11H","links_children":"ddr-chijacl-1-13","creators":[{"role":"author","namepart":"Evacuation Redress Committee, Seattle JACL Chapter"}],"topics":[{"term":"Redress and reparations","id":"110"}],"format":"doc","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"namepart":"Sasaki, Shosuke"},{"namepart":"Nakata, Mike"},{"namepart":"Miyatake, Henry"}],"contributor":"Chicago Chapter Japanese American Citizens League","rights":"cc","genre":"misc_document","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"November 19, 1975","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Evacuation Redress Committee, Seattle JACL Chapter author Sasaki, Shosuke \nNakata, Mike \nMiyatake, Henry","download_large":"ddr-chijacl-1-13-mezzanine-286ec837a2-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-229-129","model":"entity","index":"9 709/{'value': 997, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-229-129/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-229-129/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-229/ddr-densho-229-129-mezzanine-4d210f61ee-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-229/ddr-densho-229-129-mezzanine-4d210f61ee-a.jpg"},"title":"The Northwest Times Vol. 2 No. 62 (July 24, 1948)","description":"\"One-Year Enlistments Commence for 18-Year-Olds at Seattle Armed Forces Recruiting Office\" (pg. 1), \"Canada Plans Special Body for Loss Aid\" (pg. 1), \"National JACL Office Candidates for 1948-1950 Term Announced;

Being one of just a few Japanese American families where she grew up, she felt a deep longing for a sense of community. Her love for Japanese American culture is one of the main factors that led to her moving to the Pacific Northwest. Joy was welcomed into the Seattle Chapter, and quickly became active. Chapter members were very encouraging, and soon she was active in the issues that JACL was engaged in during the 1990's. A clear leader who cared about the organization and was committed to their mission statement, she became chapter president. Joy helped establish many of the organizational structures that helped the Seattle Chapter sustain itself into a new century. Joy is optimistic about the newer generation of JACL activists and the work the organization has done to engage the younger generation. With the renewed focus of allyship with other communities and organizations, she feels as though everyone--the younger and older generations--can learn from each other as the JACL continues its work."},{"id":"ddr-densho-10-14","model":"entity","index":"14 714/{'value': 997, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-10-14/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-10-14/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-10/ddr-densho-10-14-mezzanine-1304a4e455-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-10/ddr-densho-10-14-mezzanine-1304a4e455-a.jpg"},"title":"Seattle School District redress supporters","description":"A resolution was passed on April 25, 1984, to seek redress for Nisei who lost their jobs with the Seattle School District during World War II due to their Japanese ancestry.

Bill has extensive experience with Seattle JACL's advocacy, community outreach, civil rights and for ensuring the continuation of JACL's scholarships supporting the next generations of Japanese American leaders. He is well known as a Japanese American leader, twice Seattle JACL president, and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, whose intersectionality of identities shaped him as the individual and activist he is today. As an example was a key moment when he spoke out and shared experiences in the 2003 JACL National Convention speaking in support regarding a resolution protesting the Boy Scouts decision to exclude gay scouts. A key part of Bill's work has been his efforts on the preservation of Seattle JACL's heritage with his leadership of the Legacy Project, of which this recording is a part of."},{"id":"ddr-densho-1000-78","model":"entity","index":"22 722/{'value': 997, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1000-78/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1000-78/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-sshosuke-01-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1000/denshovh-sshosuke-01-a.jpg"},"title":"Shosuke Sasaki Interview","description":"Issei male.
