Harry Y. Ueno Papers, 1937-1986, bulk 1937-1950

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf3w1005kh

While a cook at the Manzanar Relocation Center Harry Ueno was active in trying to organize kitchen workers in protest against camp conditions and was outspoken against the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). He was accused of beating JACL leader Fred Tayaman and taken to the Inyo County Jail. A mass protest for his release triggered the Manzanar Incident which exposed tensions in the camp and accelerated the War Relocation Authority's (WRA) plans to segregate the loyal from the unloyal camp residents. The collection consists of personal papers and documents relating to the Manzanar War Relocation Center riot. Includes some items connected with Leupp Isolation Center, Tule Lake Segregation Center, and materials related to Ueno's children's educational experience at various centers. Materials in this collection are primarily in English, with some in Japanese.
