Japanese Language Schools
Often feeling marginalized in “American” schools, many Japanese American children also joined Japanese Language Schools to socialize with other Japanese American children and learn Japanese language and traditions.
"(We went to) the Japanese Language because it was everyday after American school... and I really have to thank them because they gave us a social life, a community life, because we knew were not accepted by Caucasians."
