The history of the Japanese in the United States is not an example of democracy at its best. Indeed. at times like during World War II when loyal Japanese Americans were evacuated and placed in concentration camps Americanstyle. it may be among the most shameful chapters. Still. it is an epic that needs to be retold over and over again. for it demonstrates that in our country an immigrant minority. small though it may be in numbers and subject to the cruelest discriminations and prejudices. can overcome such obstacles and gain dignity and opportunity such as the group never knew and enjoyed before. My contribution to this tribute to the Japanese in America will be to carry on from what Congressman MILLER has told you about this early history. In the Sacramento Valley.
