It is a great honor to announce the launch of “A Rebel’s Outcry: Biography of Issei Civil Rights Leader Sei Fujii (1882-1954)”. This publication has been a passion project of Jeffrey Gee Chin and Fumiko Carole Fujita for over a decade, complete with detailed photographs, illustrations, and historical documents. 

 “A Rebel’s Outcry" is based on the official biography on Sei Fujii “Rafu Gigyu Ondo” (1983) by Kenichi Sato, who was commissioned by the Kashu Mainichi (Japan-California Daily News). The text was translated by Saeko Higa-Dickinson, edited by Naomi Hirahara, with layouts by Amy Inouye and original artwork by Takashi Uchida.

 Please join us on November 2nd @ 5:30PM, where we will celebrate the completion of the book, along with a live-reading, and panel of guests. We do have a capacity limit so please RSVP ASAP, the facility will also be following LA County Covid Restrictions.
