Author: The East Bay Chapter Japanese American Citizens League
Title: The East Bay Chapter. Japanese American Citizens League. Presents Its 1949 Benefit Talent Show. On Stage Nisei
Description: Berkeley, CA: The East Bay Chapter, Japanese American Citizens League, 1949. Silkscreen poster printed in white, blue and yellow on Crescent Board 20 x 14.5 inches. The Berkeley Chapter was organized in early 1942 with Kimio Obata (son of U.C. Art Professor Chiura Obata) as president. WW II and the evacuation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast suspended the chapter's activities. An East Bay Chapter was formed after the war to include Berkeleyans but was split in 1953 into Oakland, Berkeley, and the Contra Costa Chapters. Later the Oakland Chapter was absorbed into the Berkeley Chapter. Berkeley was fortunate to include the more active East Bay members like Tad Hirota, Masuji Fujii, Frank and Toshi Yamasaki, Albert and Ruth Kosakura, George and Bess Yasukochi, Mas Yonemura, Paul and Kay Yamamoto, and Bill Fujita. They carried on a vigorous community program, which included promotion of Issei citizenship, scholarship awards, open forums on civic issues, benefit movies, picnics, talent shows (one of which included the now famous Pat Morita), and sports team sponsorship. From the estate of Wataru (1913-2000) and Hifumi Miura. .
