DESCRIPTION:The Little Tokyo Historical Society will launch its first publi
 cation\, Los Angeles&rsquo\;s Little Tokyo\, on Sunday\, November 21st\, f
 rom 1:00 and 3:00 P.M. at St. Francis Xavier Chapel Japanese Catholic Cent

  presentation featuring Little Tokyo icons who will discuss their memories
  and thoughts about Little Tokyo.  Refreshments from some of Little Tokyo&
 rsquo\;s businesses will follow.\n\nLos Angeles&rsquo\;s Little Tokyo (Arc
 adia Publishing) provides a broad pictorial view of Little Tokyo&rsquo\;s 
 history\, including the themes of work and enterprise\, community and trad
 itions\, war and the Bronzeville era\, sports\, and the creative arts.  Th
 e Little Tokyo Historical Society held photo-sharing days to encourage the
  public to bring in photographs and stories of Little Tokyo.  Historical S
 ociety members scanned and digitally archived images taken from the early 
 1900s through 2010.  Most pictures in the book previously have not been sh
 own to the public and provide rarely seen views of people&rsquo\;s lives. 
  Among the images included in the book are photographs from the renowned T
 oyo Miyatake Studio that Alan and Archie Miyatake generously donated\, the
  Japanese American National Museum\, the Los Angeles Public Library\, and 
 the newly created Little Tokyo Historical Society Archives.\n\nFor informa
 tion concerning ordering the book\, please contact Deanna Matsumoto at dea

 orical Society (under the umbrella of the Little Tokyo Service Center) is
