JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE 4905 Linden Street Commissioner John Dubose REF: Jap Lane Dear Commissioner Dubose, I would like to thank you for your leadership in bringing about the change in the road name of Jap Lane. I realize that you did it in spite of the political risk to yourself. This was a case of where you put the welfare of the county ahead of your own. The Japanese American community is appreciative of your effort to eliminate the use of a word that has caused us pain. We have documented the history of the road name change on our chapter website: Sincerely, George Jiro Hirasaki |
