Aochi Berk, who was Nisei Week queen in 1954, tells Hiraizumi-Artino about how when she was queen, the court did not travel to Japan or Hawaii, and that the furthest place they went was Rancho Cucamonga. Her prize for winning was a steam iron. Her advice to the younger generation is to keep giving back through volunteering and also remember the sacrifices of our parents and ancestors. She explained that being born Japanese, we take on the mindset of “on(obligation), giri(sense of duty and honor) and gimu(responsibility).” Those values are what Berk said drives her work in the Japanese American community.
