Description
Photograph of the Yoshinaga family possibly in front of their house on U Street in Sacramento, California. From front left to right: John Yoshinaga, Aya [Yoshinaga] Narita, and Shigeru Yoshinaga holding most likely Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga or Amy Yoshinaga. Sanji Yoshinaga is seated in the front second from right. From back left to right: Ei Suzuki Yoshinaga, Masaaki Narita third from left, and Frank Yoshinaga. Aiko Herzig Yoshinaga Papers includes photographs and a letter related to Aiko's life, family, and work. Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga was an activist for the Japanese American Redress movement whose research conducted for the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) provided key evidence that led to redress. She later co-edited the transcription and publication of the CWRIC hearings, along with other related projects. This collection mostly includes photographs from her early life primarily focused on the years 1930-1950. Subjects in the photographs include the Jerome and Rower incarceration camps, post- World War II Japan, Japanese American soldiers, and Japanese American families.
