By Tsuyako "Sox" Kitashima and Joy K. Morimoto |
ORDER -- Item #3189, Price $19.95
"Sox Kitashima was forced to endure an experience that no American should ever have to endure. She used her internment experience to fuel her campaign for redress and to educate others about this dark chapter in our history. As a member of Congress who supported redress, I found her story and the stories of others with similar experiences important in making the case for the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 and the reparations which it contained. The story of Sox Kitashima deserves to be widely circulated and told again and again so that future generations do not make the same mistakes."
Book Description from Back Cover
Birth of an Activist tells the inspiring story of Tsuyako "Sox" Kitashima, a California-born, Japanese American woman whose name became synonymous with the redress and reparations campaign for Japanese Americans wrongfully incarcerated during World War II. From her childhood through World War II and the post-war years, to her transformation into a community leader and activist, Sox Kitashima's life journey will touch all readers.
Comments from Back Cover
"Sox has been the driving force behind the Redress movement, an inspiration to women, a role model for our daughters, and a true San Francisco treasure."
