In Memory of Tatsuo Nakata Interview

1:16:10 — 15 segments

6-Feb-22

In this interview, Brent Seto led a panel of Tatsuo Nakata's friends (Akemi Matsumoto, Emily Momohara, Joy Shigaki, Arlene Oki, and Bill Tashima) in a remembrance of Tatsuo Nakata. The charismatic Nakata was a leader for Japanese American and mixed-race youth as well as the Seattle JACL's youngest Chapter President. Nakata pushed the envelope for the Chapter to expand its programming for more youth, mixed-raced, and a wider inclusive civil rights program. Nakata crafted his visionary leadership to help the Chapter realize political as well as moral clout.
