| 520 | |a Sumiko Kobayashi was born in Yamato, a Japanese agricultural community near Palm Beach, Florida, the daughter of Japanese immigrants. Her family was relocated from San Leandro, California under Executive Order 9066 and interned in the Topaz Relocation Center in Utah. Sumiko was allowed to leave the camp in order to attend college through the help of the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council, and graduated from Brothers College, Drew University in Madison, New Jersey in 1946. She has been active in many Japanese-American and Asian-American organizations and served as Redress Chair for Pennsylvania of the Japanese American Citizens' League's National Committee on Redress. The collection includes personal correspondence, documents, and photographs relating to the family's time in the Topaz Relocation Center, but it consists primarily of records of the organizations in which she has been active. In English and Japanese. Finding aid available. For related materials see the Susumu Kobayashi Papers (MSS 71). Addendum, raf 07/14/05: Additions consist of pencil drawings made by Kobayashi while at the Tanforan and Topaz Assembly Centers (internment camps) and one watercolor by Toshio Asaedo depicting Tanforan. The images are all outdoor scenes and appear to be accurate representations of the bleak physical environment at these two locales. | ||
