Description
An oral history recording with Frances Ishii Lyon and Kiyo Anne Fujimoto, daughters of Frank and Hisa Ishii. Frank Ishii was the first president of the Japanese American Citizens League in Long Beach. The family was first "evacuated" from Long Beach to Santa Anita race track assembly center, then incarcerated at the Jerome camp in Arkansas. The family returned to Long Beach in 1946. The recording was accomplished by Historical Society of Long Beach staff. The Oral History Collection at the Historical Society of Long Beach is a living collection, growing with each new recording the HSLB produces. The collection includes recordings with members of local politics, the LGBTQ community, and various community members.
