· Center for Japanese Americans: 1/26/2006
After the group completed this project, they all thought to themselves, “Since we've got this nice, unique group of people here.... it would be a shame to dissolve it.” Consequently the Center for Japanese American Studies was established that year (1969) for educational purposes and was later incorporated. Tetsuden and Karl were given the responsibility of developing a structure for the Center.
They dreamt of a place where programs could be developed to meet the needs of three specific groups in the JA community: the Issei, the youth, and newcomers from Japan, such as the war brides.
