DESCRIPTION
In this interview, Ana Tanaka and Joy Misako St. Germain interviewed Dr. Kyle Kinoshita to discuss Kinoshita's mother's, the late Cherry Kinoshita and Kyle Kinoshita's contributions to the JACL and the JA community. "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize," could well have been Cherry Kinoshita's mantra. She was the linchpin in the Seattle JACL and National JACL's effort to achieve redress for the WWII injustices wrought upon Japanese Americans. Densho described her as one of the "Five Bad Ass Japanese American Women that You Probably Didn't Learn About in History Class." A tireless, indefatigable fighter, she was also a gentle thoughtful strategist. Cherry Kinoshita was a recipient of a 2004 Washington State Jefferson Award, as well as awards from National JACL and the Emperor of Japan, bestowed by Seattle's Japanese consulate. Her son, Dr. Kyle Kinoshita, continued his mother's quest for social justice and equity in his profession in the education field and his ongoing volunteer work in a myriad of community activities.
