DESCRIPTION

The Frank Sato collection is composed of photographs and documents belonging to Frank Sato, former Inspector General for the both Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. During his post-federal career, Frank Sato played an active role in the redress movement, serving as the President of the Japanese American Citizen League from 1984-1986. The bulk of the collection consists of photographs shared between various White House officials during the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, many of which are personally addressed to the collection's namesake. The majority of these objects date between 1979 and 1988. Additional materials include Frank Sato's personal family photographs and his U.S. Air Force service portrait.
