Adachi, Patti and Christina (2/14/2023)
Sisters Patti and Tina Adachi, born and raised in Hyde Park, discuss their experiences as sansei growing up on Chicago's South Side. They describe involvement with the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Movement, and anti-war demonstrations as precursors to their participation in Japanese American redress efforts. They recall being motivated by their outrage after learning about their family's treatment during WWII, engaging with Asian American activism, and joining the Japanese American Citizens League's redress efforts. Having both served in multiple roles at JACL's Chicago chapter, they describe experiences such as editing the newsletter (Patti) and attending the Chicago CWRIC hearings at NEIU (Tina). In reflecting on the significance of redress and reparations, they recount the impact of the apology from the U.S. government on their family and the larger community and express the belief that more work remains to be done with regard to race and identity beyond the Japanese American community.
