Show Kenneth Nodzu May 23,2001 mostly voted on issues brought up by the national organization. And that's about all f my involvement in the chapter. L UK: I was going to ask you if you got to travel after the war, and it sounds like you have had the opportunity? KEN: Yeah. LUK: So when you went to Chicago, Washington, and Sacramento did you get to go see the sights there such as the National Memorial? KEN: Yeah. Every convention-that was part of the agenda, that we would see the highlights of the city. And I particularly enjoyed Washington, D. C., because of all the historical monuments and buildings there that we visited. L UK: When you went to these national conventions, what were some of the challenges they were discussing? KEN: Way back in 1968 they were talking about the redress. Did you ever hear about the redress program for evacuees; people that had to move from the coast to the ... ? LUK: To the internment camps, or ... ? KEN: The internment camps. Way back in 1968, in Chicago, we discussed the redress. That was the first time that we ever expressed the interest in redress. And every two years, when we held our national convention, it was brought up. And, finally, let's see, I can't remember when they started. Congress okayed the redress program and they started paying off $20,000 for each family that were involved in the evacuation. And, then, we-the coal miners and the railroad workers were laid off right when the war started. 14 |
