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.
