Noguchi","bio":"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."},{"id":"ddr-densho-400-24","model":"entity","index":"2 1527/{'value': 1554, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-400-24/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-400-24/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-400/ddr-densho-400-24-mezzanine-9f3304bdcb-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-400/ddr-densho-400-24-mezzanine-9f3304bdcb-a.jpg"},"title":"Michael Shigeru Yasutake Interview","description":"Michael Yasutake was born on August 4, 1915, in Long Beach, California.

He grew up on a farm in Palos Verdes, California. His father immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1890s and leased his first farm in 1906. Following Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor, the family's lease was unceremoniously ended. Ishibashi and his family were imprisoned in a concentration camp in Poston, Arizona, during World War II. Ishibashi left the camp to work on sugar beet farms and was able to travel while on leave from the U.S. Army. After the war, Ishibashi resettled in Palos Verdes, California, leasing the same land his father farmed before the war. The land dwindled as residential development covered the peninsula. Ishibashi took jobs as a mechanic, was evicted from his farm a second time and eventually retired in Gardena, California.\r\n\r\nThis interview is part of the South Bay History Project created by the South Bay Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League.","extent":"1:59:02","links_children":"ddr-densho-400-7","creators":[{"role":"narrator","namepart":"George Ishibashi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Richard Kawasaki"}],"format":"av","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"California","facility":[{"term":"Poston (Colorado River)","id":"2"}],"creation":"January 23, 2004","status":"completed","search_hidden":"George Ishibashi narrator \nRichard Kawasaki interviewer","download_large":"ddr-densho-400-7-mezzanine-31217c7310-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1021-8","model":"entity","index":"14 1539/{'value': 1554, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1021-8/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1021-8/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1021/ddr-densho-1021-8-1-mezzanine-a91c4d2b40-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1021/ddr-densho-1021-8-1-mezzanine-a91c4d2b40-a.jpg"},"title":"Thomas T. 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.

In cases where a key leader is deceased, the interview team led a conversation with the leader's friends and family. In researching Seattle JACL's history, the Chapter recognized the debt owed to leaders who had the vision and perseverance to inspire members and transform the Chapter into an organization of activism and advocacy. The interviews were designed as \"conversations\" not only to focus on facts and events, but to delve deeper into the climate of the period in which these leaders served and the barriers that they overcame. The interviews involved iconic leaders from earlier years who created Seattle JACL legacy of today and also current leaders who are creating Seattle JACL legacy for tomorrow.","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","public":"1","rights":"cc","status":"completed","search_hidden":"","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-33-1-mezzanine-4d28718cbf-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1021-2","model":"entity","index":"18 1543/{'value': 1554, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1021-2/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1021-2/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1021/ddr-densho-1021-2-1-mezzanine-e239ceb700-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1021/ddr-densho-1021-2-1-mezzanine-e239ceb700-a.jpg"},"title":"Geri Handa Interview","description":"Geri Handa was born in San Jose, California, in 1948, and studied in the early 1970s at the School of Social Welfare at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a focus on community organizing and social services for seniors.
