Naganuma,Jimmy

(n. 1936) Japonés peruano encarcelado en Crystal City

Postwar sponsorship (Inglês)

(Inglês) Peru was...we lost everything, my father, all the business, everything we owned. I'm sure people, they left camp, they had homes here already, or they had some friends, but we didn't have anywhere to go. Reverend Fukuda is a reverend that teaches Shinto, Konko church in San Francisco, he had a lawyer, attorney general, right? Took all care of all his business. He wrote a letter to the INS saying that they'll sponsor us if we come to San Francisco and find them a job. And so that was the reason we came to San Francisco.

Entrevista

Jimmy Naganuma nació en Callao, Perú a padres Issei en 1936. Tenía ocho años cuando su familia fue obligada a abordar un barco, para ser encarcelados en Crystal City, Texas, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Permanecieron allí hasta después de que terminó la guerra, sin ningún lugar adonde ir. Pudieron salir gracias al patrocinio de un reverendo en San Francisco, California, donde pudieron encontrar trabajo y un lugar donde vivir. (Junio 2018)
