Description
Mike Masaru Masaoka was the first national secretary of JACL (Japanese American Citizens League) and is credited with making the association nationwide in scope. He and the JACL lobbied for and succeeded in the repeal of the Japanese Exclusion Act of 1924. His lobbying also results in amendments to the Walter-McCarran Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 which gave Japanese immigrants the same rights as Europeans. Masaoka and the JACL convinced the army to form the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in WWII.
