By DR. TAKASHI HOSHIZAKI
Some years back, I was with Paul Tsuneishi in Arizona for the dedication of the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Park and a young wisp of a girl joined our group. Little did I know that I was meeting for the first time a powerful journalist and activist.
That wisp of a girl was Martha Nakagawa.
Over the years I was very pleased that she wrote supporting articles on the Heart Mountain Fair Play Committee resisters of conscience. She was one of few who understood the reasoning of the resisters. From her writings, more are now aware that civil rights were denied to those of Japanese ancestry.
As time passed, Martha became one of my close friends. Reading in The RafuShimpo, I was very shocked to learn of her passing.
Sayonara, my good friend. Rest in peace.
From a Heart Mountain resister of conscience. Kokoro kara.
