Show "SOX" KITASHIMA past six months that some of these people, who have been reluctant, are coming out of their shells, and I think that a lot of that is credited to the bill, the position the bill is in. ST: Yes, it has done a wonderful job. SK: I attended one of the first meetings of the coalition. They had no money, and they had to pool money to buy stamps to send meeting notices. I saw two young girls at the table pleading to the people to testify at a commission hearing--a nine-man commission from Washington. They toured the United States and San Francisco was going to be one of cities to hold a hearing. My girlfriend and I attended the first meeting and said being a Nisei and being a former returnee we should really offer to testify. So we both agreed to testify. It was amazing, in the three days of hearing, they had approximately a hundred and seventy people. In the beginning, the speaker was allowed to speak as long as they wanted, but by the time my turn came, they cut it down to four minutes. I went three days to the hearing, and every night I would go home and time my speech. It is very hard to cut out a speech when you want to tell your story. ST: Oh, yes, four minutes isn't very long. 25 |
