UCLA Asian American Studies Center's Suyama Project aims to preserve the history of Japanese American resistance during World War II, including, but not limited to the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team draftees, Army and draft resisters, No-Nos, renunciants, and other Nikkei dissidents of World War II. The Suyama Project is made possible through the generous gift of an anonymous donor who wanted to honor and remember the legacy of resistance, broadly understood. |
SELECTED NOTES OF JAMES M. OMURA
Edited by Arther A. Hansen The following excerpts were included in an untitled research document included in the James Omura Papers archived at Stanford University's Green Library. Most all of the excerpts bear directly or indirectly upon James Omura's involvement in the October/November 1944 federal trial in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in which he was charged with being a party in conspiracy with the leaders of the Heart Mountain Fair Play Committee to counsel draft-age Nisei at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center to evade the draft, in violation of Section 11 of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940. These excerpts are not placed in strict chronological order, although provenance is provided for all of them.
