Born September 5, 1928, in Tacoma, Washington, moved with her family to Seattle at age four. At age six, began singing, taking voice lessons and performing on stage for Japanese American community events. In 1942, was incarcerated with her family at Puyallup Assembly Center and Minidoka concentration camp, Idaho, where she continued to sing -- including performances outside of the camp arranged by camp authorities. Remembers fondly the freedom from parental supervision teenagers experienced while in camp. In fact, after the family was allowed early release to relocate in Denver in April 1943, she ran away from home and briefly returned to Minidoka. In Denver, continued her music studies and joined a United Service Organization (USO) group, experiencing both racial prejudice and warm welcome at USO performances. Postwar, resettled with her family in Los Angeles, where she attended the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, University of California, Los Angeles, and University Southern California. Continued to pursue music as a hobby through schooling, marriage, and two children. Began teaching private piano and voice lessons in 1952. Following her divorce in 1958, began singing in nightclubs and lounges.","extent":"01:37:12","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-74","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":77,"namepart":"Sue Takimoto Okabe"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"Dana Hoshide"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr0063g31","namepart":"Takimoto, Suzuko Frances"}],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"December 3, 1999","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Sue Takimoto Okabe narrator \nAlice Ito interviewer \nDana Hoshide videographer Takimoto, Suzuko Frances 88922nr0063g31","download_large":"denshovh-osue-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-468-158","model":"entity","index":"1 51/{'value': 83, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-468-158/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-468-158/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-468/ddr-densho-468-158-mezzanine-244668ea60-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-468/ddr-densho-468-158-mezzanine-244668ea60-a.jpg"},"title":"Nonfiction manuscript: \"Road to Freedom\" with submission letter and rejection letter","description":"Manuscript of nonfiction narrative describing experience as Japanese-American seeking student leave from World War II incarceration.

She joined Asians for Community Actions in San Jose and worked at Keiro Nursing Home in Los Angeles while she was still attending the school. In the early 1980s, Handa became involved with Friends of Hibakusha, a group created in support of US survivors of the atomic bombings. Since then, she has been one of the most active members of the organization. A Sansei, Handa has worked with Sansei lawyers and attorneys who took interest in US hibakusha from civil rights viewpoints, including Donald K. Tamaki whose oral history is part of this collection. She has worked with representatives of the Asian Law Alliances, the Asian Law Caucus, and the Japanese American Citizens League, in order to secure US government's recognition of US survivors. Although their effort ultimately failed, Handa says that it is \"remarkable\" that US survivors gained recognition and support for treating their radiation illnesses from the Japanese government. She has been a key organizer of the medical checkups conducted by Japanese physicians in San Francisco every other year since 1977. Throughout the interview, Handa emphasizes the importance of community engagement, multiculturalism, and lasting connections made through her work for US hibakusha.","extent":"1:20:21","links_children":"ddr-densho-1021-2","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":964,"namepart":"Geri Handa"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Naoko Wake"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"San Francisco, California","creation":"20-Jul-11","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Geri Handa narrator \nNaoko Wake interviewer","download_large":"ddr-densho-1021-2-1-mezzanine-e239ceb700-a.jpg"},{"id":"1013","model":"narrator","index":"14 64/{'value': 83, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/1013/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/1013/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-densho-1000-521_narr.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ddr-densho-1000-521_narr.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/1013/interviews/"},"display_name":"Sumiko Higashi","bio":"Sansei female.

Attended University of California, Santa Barbara where she became increasingly aware of Japanese American history, issues of ethnic identity and racial inequality. Attended the University of San Francisco School of Law where she honed her commitment to political and social activism. Only a few years out of law school, she joined a team of lawyers working to reopen the Supreme Court's 1944 decision in Korematsu v. United States. Convicted of violating the exclusion order during World War II, Mr. Korematsu's case went all the way to the Supreme Court where the exclusion and incarceration of Japanese Americans was upheld as constitutional, based on the government's argument of \"military necessity.\" Through a petition for writ of error coram nobis (establishing that the case was premised on errors of fact withheld from the judge and the defense by the prosecution), the legal team reopened the case, provided evidence that the factual underpinnings to the exclusion orders were fraudulent, and successfully had the Korematsu conviction vacated, as well as a handful of other similar convictions. In this interview, Ms. Bannai discusses the coram nobis legal team, the support for the effort among the Japanese American community, and personal lessons gained from being a part of this effort.","extent":"04:11:39","links_children":"ddr-densho-1000-113","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":112,"namepart":"Lorraine Bannai"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Margaret Chon"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Alice Ito"},{"role":"videographer","namepart":"John Pai/Dana Hoshide"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Seattle, Washington","creation":"March 23 & 24, 2000","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Lorraine Bannai narrator \nMargaret Chon interviewer \nAlice Ito interviewer \nJohn Pai/Dana Hoshide videographer","download_large":"denshovh-blorraine-01-a.jpg"},{"id":"290","model":"narrator","index":"21 71/{'value': 83, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/290/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/290/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ijoe.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ijoe.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/290/interviews/"},"display_name":"Joe Ishikawa","bio":"Nisei male.
