Underwritten by grants from the National JACL Legacy Fund and the Robert Chinn Foundation, teams of Seattle JACL members and University of Washington student interns interviewed key Seattle JACL leaders. 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-563","model":"collection","index":"14 3214/{'value': 3279, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-563/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-563/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-563/ddr-densho-563-1-mezzanine-c2e157d543-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-563/ddr-densho-563-1-mezzanine-c2e157d543-a.jpg"},"title":"Ben Mayewaki Collection","description":"The collection contains materials from and related to Ben Mayewaki time serving the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) at Fort Snelling in Minnesota, with the 5th Air Force Headquarters in Brisbane, Australia, and in the New Guinea campaign.

Furuya, a tailor by trade, immigrated to Seattle in 1890 and eventually opened his own shop. Several years later, he began operating a grocery store while he continued tailoring on the side. With the rise in Japanese immigration in the 1890s and early 1900s, Furuya's business grew rapidly. Soon, his mercantile business, complete with wholesale and retail import and export divisions, occupied a six-story building in downtown Seattle. He later opened branches elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Japan, and Vancouver, British Columbia.Furuya, along with companies such as Tobo, also contracted Japanese laborers to work on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads primarily as section hands and engine watchmen. The Issei made anywhere from $.85 to $1.50 per day, less than their Caucasian counterparts. In 1907, Furuya organized the Japanese Commercial Bank, then later purchased the Oriental American Bank in 1914 and the Seattle Specie Bank in 1923. He consolidated all three banks into the Pacific Commercial Bank. Unfortunately, with the Great Depression, Furuya went bankrupt on October 23, 1931. He moved to Los Angeles and eventually returned permanently to Yokohama, Japan.

In Tule, he renounced his U.S. citizenship in protest of the incarceration his treatment in camp, and the so-called \"loyalty questionnaire.\" Shortly thereafter he regretted his actions and attempted to rescind his decision.
