More Little Tokyo Redevelopment, 1969
I went to visit my mother, and she had this old copy of the Nisei Week 1969 program. She was in it! She, my grandma, and I were in a photo. You couldn’t see me, because I was swaddled in a blanket. They weren’t even captioned, because it was a photo of someone else. Anyway,…

Little Tokyo Urban Renewal 1972, Urban Renewal Researcher from Japan 1968, Gentrification Notes
I’ve been going through the hoard and stumbled on a couple unrelated things that, today, seem related. Gentrification has swept across downtown LA, and it recalls, for some people older than I, Urban Renewal. Urban Renewal was criticized and mocked as really “Negro Removal”. These photos show a couple articles and a letter that all…

Kats Kunitsugu in the Kashu Mainichi
I came across this column, and read it, and was moved. I searched for a clipping (shown above) that I was selling, of Kats Kunitsugu giving something to Ed Roybal to support his run for Lt. Governor in 1954. It was gone. I couldn’t find it. It was some East LA history there, and I…

The Mirror
Los Angeles is now what we call a “one newspaper town”, but it used to support at least five papers in English. One of these, which I have never seen a complete copy of, is The Mirror, the Chandler family’s paper. It merged with the Times, and that’s why it was called Times-Mirror for so…

The Independent Progressive Party
This is a clipping from the Rafu, and I think it’s around 1952, because it mentions the McCarran Walter Act, which passed in 1952. I recognized Art Takei’s name, because he was one of the founders of APALA, the API labor organization within the AFL-CIO. Fumi Ishihara, I didn’t recognize, but the internet is amazing,…

Tom Bradley Speech, Draft: The Citizen: Power and/or Powerlessness
I found this. I suspect it may have been tossed into the trash and retrieved. Upon reading it, I figured out that it was written by, or for, Tom Bradley. I’ve started looking for orgs that could take this kind of stuff. I’m also selling things, but some thing like this might have a bit…

1966 Denial of a Conditional Use for 11339 Dronfield, Pacoima, for Yoshito R. and Michiko Matsuda
I’m clearing out my father’s hoard, and sometimes you find something interesting. This was a denial of a zoning variance for a church. Given that my father collected a lot of stuff from work, and one of his interests was racial discrimination (because he faced it), I thought, maybe, this was an instance. It’s impossible…
