““If a horse bucks you off, get right back on! Such words from J. Marion Wright, native Angeleno and attorney, were familiar to family, friends and associates. His determination, united with the commitment of Sei Fujii, law friend and community activist, led to the invalidation of the Alien Land Law.””
