JA Exhibition

Previewed at Tri-District by J.K. yamamoto LOS ANGELES - Tom Crouch, curator of the upcoming Smith­sonian exhibition on Japanese Americans. explained to an aud­ience of JACLers on May 2 why he felt the show was pClfecUy suited to mark the ZXXh anniver­sary of the Constitution.

'This is surely the most contro­versial exhibit the staid. middle­of -the-road Smithsonian lnstitu­tion has undcrtaken in a good many years," said Crouch, who was dinner speaker at a joint conference held by the Pacific Southwest., Central California and Northern California-Western Nevada-Pacific JACL districts at the AlqJort Hyatt.

"All of us, though, who are in· volved in the project are absolute­ly convinced that by the same token it's the most important show that the Smithsonian has done in a good many years."

The exhibit, entitled "A More Perfect Union: Japanese Ameri· cans and the U.S. Constitution,"

House Subcommittee Gives

Its Approval to Redress Bill WASHINGTON - The House ,Judicia lY Subc:ommittee on Admini· strative Law and GovemmentaJ Relations approved on May 13 re­dress bill JUt 442, which would compensate Japanese Americans who wCI'e removed from their homes and interned during WW2

f'or the first time since it was introduced in 1003, the bill has moved oul of the su bcomm ittee and wi II go to the ful l Judiciary Committee.

Subcommittee members present for the mark-up of the bill were Chai,rman BalTley Frank (D-Mass.), Dan Glickman (D-Kan.), Bruce Monison (O-Conn.l. Howard Berman (D-Cali[), Benjamin Cardin (D­Md,), Ranking Minority Member E. Clay Shaw (R-F1a), and Patrick Swindall (R-Ga.). Also in attendance were Reps. Norman l\-lineta and Robert Matsui (both D-Cali f.).

Views on the issue were discussed and amendments were passed or withdrawn before !.he bill was approved on a voice vote

.. ) am lhrilled and delighted," said Mineta ''I 've always believed in this bill, and I hope we wiU enact it this year to celebrate the bicen­tennial of the U.S. Constitution. I was heartened by the fact that during the subcommittee's discussions. no doubts were expressed about the merits of the legislation, the need for the bill, nor the fact lhat a wholesale violation of rights had occurred and should be redressed. Not one member of Congress questioned the principle of the legislation

"The changes made in subcommittee will strengthen the bill and aid our efforts to build support for the legislation in the Judiciary Committee and the House."

Matsui noted, '"This is a major hurdle for redress legislation be­cause it is the first time that the legislation has ever been approved by a congressional subcommittee. Redress is an issue offundamental justice, and today we have taken a giant step forward in our efforts to bring justice to those who were interned.

'1 think that the U,S, govenunent has a responsibility to atone for the detention of Americans of Japanese descent during WW2. It is time to close this tragic chapter m American history by giving redress and compensation to those who suffered the damage of the internment"

Changes Made m Bill The follOWing amendments werc adopted: en Under Authorization of Appropriations, lhe amount to be ap­

propriated was I'educed fi-om $L5 billion to $1.25 biUion. 111e Sl50 million reduction leaves the $2O.(XX) individual payments intact, but cuts the Educational Trust FUnd fi-om S300 million to $SO million. Additionally, in compliance with the Budget AcL no runds are au· thorized until Fiscal Year 1989.

(2) In Section ID1 under Restitution, the provisions regardmg indi­vidual restitution appl" to individuals living on the date of enactment of tlle legislation.

(3) In Ole Sc1 me section, any eligible individual who has not I'eceived payment by SepL 30, 1989 is authori7..ed to now:." the Department of JU:>tlce of his hel' ellglbility

(4) In Section 205 under Definitions, "eligible individuals" wiIJ not tnrlude OlQSC who pennanently renounced O\eir U.s. citizenship or 1>C11I1tuumt l"C'.<;ident alien status.

Gesens,,,<\.v and Roseman were immediat(1)' captivated by Ule paintings. 1:1) images that seemed to make the shock and pain of the relocation come alive.

They later learned that the ma­terials belonged to two fonner Comell professors who had con­ducted sociological studies in Poston and Manzanar. The water­colors had been painted by a P0s­ton internee, Gene Sogioka, who had been hired by the U.S, Bu­reau of Scoiological Research to document tife In the camp,

After being invited by ComeU Archives to catalogue Sogioka's paintings, Gesensway and Rose­man became more and morec;ur. ious about the experience that the artwork depicted. What was it like. they wondered. to be an "enemy alien" in the country of your birth? What \Val) it like to be uprooted from c\'erytlung fa­miliar and con-alled behind barbed wire forup to threeyears?

Bill Hosokawa is celtainly en­titled to his opilllon that " lI1di· vidual payment chea~ns O,e ex­perience we went UlroUgh."

Chin Verdict The l'Cccnt vindication orVin­

cenl Chin's killer leavcs me w ith a bitter taste of justice In Amelica

and m akes me feel somewhal in· secure in society, To allow Ulis violent act to go unpunished is a statement from the fedeml courts that there ex ists a double stan, dard of justice in the United States today,

Nonetheless. I hope that Asian Americans will remain vigilant against racial attacks on ethnic minorities. Just like any other citizen, we have Ule light to self· defense. While I am totally 01>­posed to violence, I must <Ilso bear in mind that there may be another I'acist lurking out i.here who may single me out to vent his hate, and I must be prepared to deal with such affronts, attacks or abuse,

Like Vincent Chin. I can be mist..1ken for a villain. Hence, I highly 1"eCOlOmenci that Asians should be aware that they must protect themselves against en­croachmc.nts by domestic ten"Or­ists who apparently have a License

to kin, since the federal COUlts

appeal' lO be indifferent to the pl'Oblems of racial violence,

As a Nikkei San~i. I l"e<'Om­mend that311lemotial to Vincent Chill be illltinloo as a I'Cminder to America that freedom can be taken away in one moment and dCllIed by UlC legal system m nn' other, all because, asAsians, '\ve all look alike,"

Total Theater Experience by Ph.ilil) Tajitsu Nash

" You have Ule 'k:ilJer's thumb,'" lhe samura i tells her as the lights dim and two puppets suddenly appear in a pool of light The Al'lj<Jn American murdermystel'Y known as "The Dream of Kita· mura" operates on sevel''allevels of realism and fantasy. and we arc aboul to move from one to anoUler ".

I I'cmcmbercd Ulis particular scene from the spring of 1985, when Philip Kan Gotanda's play first opened in New York. It was the kind of total theater experi· ence that San F'rancisco critic Nancy Scott called ;'visuaUy stun­ning" and "a fascinating, funny, tJ'OubJing fantasy" when it opened there in 1002. And here I was. watching a rehearsal of the same scene in an empty Ncw York au­

ditorium, feeling UIC power of Ule scene even without thc l ights and prop$.

With the backing of Jean Erd· man. a pioneer in the c:oncept of 'total theater," and herOpen Eye theater l'Ompany, Gotanda's piece opened in New YOI'k on May 11

and began an ambitious seven­city national tour, While Gotanda

has \I,.'on awards for this and other wOI'ks, Ulis tow' represents an­other milestone in what has been an unusually prolific and event­ful altistic career.

The lour. amazingly. stars all 12 cast members who performed in the New York production in 1985, It opened at the theater at St. Ann'sChurch in Brooklyn and ran until May 16. It then moves

If you missed "Kitamura" in any of its previous incarnations over the past five years, be sure not lO short-change yourself this time around. And if you've got friends or family who live in one of the tour cities, be sure to give them advance notice

So, who is Kitamura, and what is a "killer thumb"? Meet me at the theater and find out
