“A Rebel’s Outcry,” published by the Little Tokyo Historical Society, recently received the Commonwealth Club’s California Book Award.
The book, which honors the legacy of Japanese American human rights activist and community leader Sei Fujii (1882-1954), with lessons for the civil rights struggle today, was recognized in the category of Contribution to Publishing.
This publication has been a passion project of Jeffrey Gee Chin and Fumiko Carole Fujita for over a decade, complete with detailed photographs, illustrations, and historical documents. “A Rebel’s Outcry” is based on the official biography on Fujii “Rafu Gigyu Ondo” (1983) by Kenichi Sato, who was commissioned by the Kashu Mainichi(Japan-California Daily News). The text was translated by Saeko Higa-Dickinson and edited by Naomi Hirahara, with layouts by Amy Inouye (Future Studio) and original artwork by Takashi Uchida.
The effort to recognize Fujii also produced a film, “Lil Tokyo Reporter,” and a monument in Little Tokyo’s Japanese Village Plaza.
