Japanese American organization in Seattle, Washington that promoted active
citizenship and civil and human rightsThe Seattle Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League served as
the voice of the Nisei (second generation Japanese). The members (primarily
professionals) tended to be highly nationalistic and proud of their American
citizenship, promoting good citizenship and active participation in civic life.
Organized 1921, as Seattle Progressive Citizens' League, it became the Seattle
Chapter of national Japanese American Citizens League in 1930.
Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Seattle Japanese American
Citizens League met to organize an Emergency Defense Council composed of the
presidents of many Nisei organizations. When incarceration became inevitable,
the Seattle Japanese American Citizens League began to cooperate with the War
Relocation Authority in the removal and in governing the Puyallup Assembly
Center (Camp Harmony). James Sakamoto, Chairman of the Emergency Defense
Council, became Chief Supervisor of the Japanese staff at the Puyllup Assembly
Center.
The Chapter was inactive during the period immediately following the
war, but was formally reactivated in 1948. During the 1950s and 1960s, the
Seattle Japanese American Citizens League became involved in civil and human
rights issues. Chapter members participated in the statewide effort to
eliminate from the Washington state constitution the 1899 Alien Land Law which
prohibited Asians from owning land. In 1966, SJR 20 passes as an amendment to
the constitution. In 1962 the seventeenth National Japanese American Citizens
League Biennial Convention was held in Seattle. Minoru Tsubota was president
circa 1960, Minoru Masuda in 1971, Chuck Kato in 1980, and Lloyd Hara in
1981.
