Let Freedom Ring
Omaha
Thousands of patriotic Aml!ricans acro the country l:tst wl!l!k proclaiml!d the igning of the Declaratlon of In dependence. Ju-t as patriotic were thl! thousands of other Americans--during the same week - organizing freedom marc he>., ~It-In.o;, pickets to proclaim their protest agamst
raCIal discriDlination. Prl!~ident Kennedy proclaimed this year's Fourth ot
July multo or logan';:; ".Iake Freedom Really Ring" and and citie~ and towns aeros,; the nation condul'ted bell-ringmg ceremonies that lasted II four· minute period beginning lit
noon, The echo of one bell-the Liberty Bell which proclaimed
the signing of Ihe Declaration of Independence in 1776-has a hullO\\', warped ring in thl! light of our present situation in the area or civil rights. Instead of serving as lirenundl!r. 10 ~nd or foe alike, that freedom is the essence of the AmerlClln W3 ' of hfe. the echo of thl! Liberty Bell tod;.y is telling the world of the appalling dearth .of fr~edom lor millions of Americans of darker skin in voltng, m employment, in housing, in education, in public accommodation
and in the administration of Justice nlil our legislatures-federal. state and local-eon
slder Ibis ISSue as the most crttical and urgent domestic problem in the Uruted tates. and until such discrimination is eliminated. our words about Equality and Freedom for all our citIZens will have :1 hollow and hypocritical sound to the people of the world.
We are told that the Civil War was fought to free the Negroes, but this eems to remain as "unfinished business." Unle ., we recognize that this i a morol i sue and acknowl
.. dge it within our individual heart and conscience, the problem will lonlmue to remain as "unfinished business"
• • • • urge every JACLer to consider this i sue as a per
sonal and individual matter. Do some personal soul-searching. President Kennedy has called the civil rights problem a morol problem that needs the uPPOtt of the entire nation 3S wel\ as positive congressional action. The ationsl JACL B03rd is studying the President's civil rights program and ls planning ways and means not only of implementing the program but revlewmg our position in the light of recent developments.
I wlsh to point out to those who seem to think that our National Organization has no national policy on civil rights of the success we have had in one area of civil rights in abolishing the laws against interracial marriage in several States since the 1962 National Convention, when a clearcut statement as to JACL's stand on civil rights was issued_
There is no need to repeat that JACL position here, since it appeared in the Wasrungton Newsletter by Mike Masaoka in the June 28 pc, But I wish to state clearly and loudly that our National JACL has had, and does have now,
a comprehensive and unequivocal policy on Civil Rights.
In "making Freedom really ring," we can rededicate our thoughts and actions in the true spirit of brotherhood and try to live up to our Japanese American Creed.

• • • • MORE IRONS IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS FIRE
Other I!thnic groups and individuals were expressing
lheDl!>elves on the Negro civil rights issue with individualis· tic flair this past week.
Both national wire 'ervices carried Howard lmazeki' :> straight·from·the-shoulder editorial appearing in the June 29 Hokubei Mainichi across Ihe counlry. It also was reprinted July 4 in the San Francisco E.uminer editorial page.
Imazekj's frank piece called upon San Francisco Negro leaders to "do a little soul'searching" of tbeir own and "make a concentrated effort sincerely to beller themselves".
local headlines tagged it as "Nisei advice" and we can hardly "'ait for. 'cgro press <:Qmment this week.
Il is evident that the Negro needs to develop better
lWess besides sports and entertainment. So much of what we read on the other pages of tbe dailies about tbe Negro is unflattering or slereotyped. We knO\v there are !IIegroe!> sincerely trying to better the lot of their own, though it seldom r-eat:hes Ihe public eye. Tbere was a Negro weekly
wtrich tried vainly to clean up prostitution and dope·peddl. ing in Southwest LA, when. the dailies ignored the condition, lAnd Ihat aper went hankrupt).
Something good and dignifying aboul the Negro in the press everyday, especialJy of tbose who are trying to elevate their own, may be a step in the right direction to show i.J. 'lU Deen "wul·searching".
• • • The Nisei, of all people, should be well aware o{ the
dangers or rao:ial slereotypes. rr the present day acceptance of persons of Japane ~ 371cestry in America was due to a combination of lIome-slic and international forces, an im· balance ,n either area might revive Ihe bugaboo of "yellow ~I" in our faces,

We feel it is dlfllcull Indeed for us Nisei to reaUy appreciate the suffering and agony of our Negro Americans,
T\venty-one Yllars ago about this time in June 01 1942 many or us were behind the baroro . wire fences concentrated in 11 inlern· ment camps euphemistically call1!<l War Relocation Centers.
Our only crime then was our color.

We Ih.n Ihought the Nise. were terribly mIstreated: losing proper· ty In the process of evacuation anti losing the right of citizeJlship be· hjnd Ihe barbed·wire encloSlU'es.

UNDER THE SIGN OF THE DOLLAR - Only a hand(ul o( I:sd ever became wealthy Perhaps it tS n wonder that any Issl;.! ama 'ed fortunes, for they were nliens in a strange and hostile land, Fell' were h'alned In the Inlrlca.lcs or finnnce. Ther faced language handicaps and rcstricth'e laws aimed ~peciIicallr at them. And so the maJority of them worked out tht'ir Hves Irying to make ends m~t while foedinl! , clothing and educating their children • 'ot mlln ' ever cot pasl the point where they no longer had to work for mOllcy. where they could put money to work
for them. The J.:"ci came to seck their fortunes in this citadel
(If C'apltalism, bul not many ever understood it . Most toiled wilh slI'eat and muscle for every dollar they ever earned, and onl\' a notablc few made the shrewd m\·estments -thrOugh- nati ...... wisdom, courage or just plain luck - that lilted them out of Ihe working class. 'ot that many didn't try_ Bill man ' oh so many, through naivete and lack of C'ducat(on an r... ~x~nence. fell victim to bunto schemes and just plain Impr;Jctical ideas ill which their hard-earned
money disappeared. The Nisei haye been somewhat more fortunate. They
c.1me into c!::Onomic matunty in a time of inflationary prosperity and Tacial acceptance. And so it is not surprising that many of them - not nearly all. of course - are both Ji\ing well and making their money work for them
What bdngs this to mind is the o~n(ng here on July I, In a still unfini hed building. of Ihe Gibraltar SaYings & Loon AssoclalAon, brainchild of Taul Watanabe of Los An.:eles who is culling an impressiye swath in S&L circles. But If it \ a Watanabe who planted the seed (or Gibraltar seme 27 m0n!h ago, it was a group of local isei and some of their non·Nisei associates who made the institution a
rulity.
• • • ETHNIC MINORITIES - Tbe (irst meeting ·Jf Gibral
tar's stockhoiller was heM 1Il Denver's leading hotel a few nights ago arid it was an emotion·charged gathering. Kody Kodama. a produce broker opened the session as chairman of the board . Dr. ~(o~ris Kaplan. physician, presided as pre ident. Oth~r 6fficers are Gordon Slatkin, secretary. and Sam Kumagai, treasurer. In addition to these four, members of the board are Dr etsuo Ito, dentist; Frank Torizawa, fish broker; and Dr Charles Fujisaki. physician.
As is e\'ident from the above names, Nisei dominate the board whIch also includes two men of Jewish extraction. Bul am~ng the some 155 stockholders are Ne"gToes, per ons of HaHan descent. and a substantial number of just plain Anglo-Saxon types.
So stringent are Colorado's requirements that Gibraltar IS the fir t savings and loan association to be granted a state charter since 1958, this during a period of unprecedented growth in the Denver area. The meeting was emotional in he sense that a feeling of fulfillment and triumph over enormous odd- was evident, and Watanabe added to it with one of his rousing pep talks. It was an impressive oca.slon.
• • • A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE - The launching of Gib
raltar marks \he foundmg of the first predominantly Nisei financial institution in the Denver area. That they have the capital to m~e it a reality is an interesting commentary on their economic progress.
But more significant than that is the (act that Nisei financial leadl;rship has the backing of a wide cross·seetion .
of ttle comm~ty. and the promise of even wider support.
And lhis is smnething to make note of in this community which, until ~rld War II, had only a tiny handIul of Issei and -isei.
