    Kip Tokuda Civil Liberties Program 1. Purpose: The Kip Tokuda competitive grant program supports the intent of RCW 28A.300.405 to do one or both of the following: 1) educate the public regarding the history and lessons of the World War II exclusion, removal, and detention of persons of Japanese ancestry through the development, coordination, and distribution of new educational materials and the development of curriculum materials to complement and augment resources currently available on this subject matter; and 2) develop videos, plays, presentations, speaker bureaus, and exhibitions for presentation to elementary schools, secondary schools, community colleges, and other interested parties. 2. Description of services provided: Grants were provided to the following individuals and organizations: Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (BIJAC): BIJAC offered workshops featuring four oral history documentary films of the Japanese American WWII experience and accompanying curricula aligning with OSPI-developed Assessments for use in distance-learning lessons during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and developed online interactive activities to use with the oral history films in online workshops. Erin Shigaki: In the first phase of the grant Erin used the funds to revise the design of three wall murals about the Japanese American exclusion and detention located in what was the historic Japantown or Nihonmachi in Seattle, WA. The first and second locations are in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District in “Nihonmachi Alley” and the third location is the side of the Densho building located on Jackson Street. Erin spent time working with a fabricator regarding material options and installation.

  • From a U.S. Internment Camp to Your Living Room and Your Cherished
    Willie Ito ICOMM Keynote Lunch Presentation On February 18, 1942, Executive Order 9066 was issued and 8-year-old Willie Ito and his family were removed from their San Francisco home and forced into an internment camp along with over 120,000 U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry. Rule of law principles were trampled and every civil and constitutional right guaranteed by the Bill of Rights was violated. This ugly episode in our history continues to rear its head as selective enforcement is being advocated with seemingly increasing volume. Regardless of the context, such action would similarly violate U.S. laws as well many international human rights treaties to which the U.S. is a signatory. Willie Ito’s professional journey began in the dried salt lakedesert internment camp in Topaz, Utah. In his spare time in the camp, Willie would entertain himself by drawing pictures on the corners of the War Relocation Authority provisions catalog. Flipping the pages, he became a self-taught animator. To the bemusement of his parents, at age 10, Willie announced his intention to become a cartoonist or comicstrip artist upon their release from camp. His professional career as an animator began in 1954, when Willie was hired by Disney and assigned to the “Lady Unit”. He assumed that this was a derogatory term for junior animators, but Willie was actually assigned to the Lady and Tramp project. As fate would have it, his first assignment was to animate the “spaghetti sequence” in The Lady and the Tramp, a scene that would go on to become one of the most iconic of early feature animation in history.

  • Neighborhood Plan
    FAIRVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN Where People Make the Difference! Adopted | September 9, 2014 Anchorage Assembly Ordinance | AO No. 2014-108 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Fairview Neighborhood Plan is the result of thousands of hours of community volunteer effort from a community that cares about this city, and has put a lot of thought into the issues we face and that reflects our will and hopes for this area. The Fairview Community Council would like to recognize and thank Allen Kemplen for shepherding the planning process for over a decade. Without his vision and direction, all the pieces would not fit together so well and so completely. The Executive Board of the Community Council including Christopher Constant-President, Harry Need-Vice President, Heather Austermuhl-Secretary, Sharon Chamard-Treasurer, George Harrison, Allen Kemplen, S.J. Klein, and Heidi Heinrich worked closely with our contractors Agnew::Beck in distilling the community’s work into this document. This plan wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Neighborhood Plan Committee of Sharon Chamard, Dan Loring, Celeste Benson, Paul Benson, Darrel Hess, Michael Howard, Claris Syren and Harry Deuber as well as the complementary efforts of NeighborWorks Anchorage and Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. We would like to thank the Fairview Business Association and the Municipal Long Range Planning Section for their critical assistance in completing portions of the plan, and the Planning and Zoning Commission and Anchorage Assembly for thoughtful deliberation of its contents. Finally, the Council recognizes the members of our community who make this the best neighborhood in Anchorage. You and your input and have inspired a unique document that truly reflects our will and will shape Fairview into a true Winter City Neighborhood of Choice.
