In November, 2007 I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Takashi "Tabo" Kono. Tabo is a nisei, born in Los Angeles, CA in 1937. His family was sent to the Manzanar internment camp while one of his brothers served in the US Army. His life story connects with many of the main events that shaped the Japanese American community. This collection of clips from my interview with Tabo can be useful in describing major events to those with no background in the Japanese American community but may also provide some interesting insights to those who are well acquainted with it.
