Celebrating John Esaki

john esaki - AS A LONGTIME STAFFER OF VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS, JOHN ESAKI WENT ON TO DIRECT STAND UP FOR JUSTICE, A SHORT FILM ABOUT RALPH LAZO, A CHICANO YOUTH WHO ACCOMPANIED HIS JAPANESE AMERICAN CLASSMATES TO THE MANZANAR CONCENTRATION CAMP.

We would like to congratulate John Esaki on his recent retirement from the Japanese American National Museum.  Though these images cannot express the full extent of John’s contributions to our communities, we share with you moments and memories throughout the years. 

Thank you John (and Amy Kato) for your work in building up Visual Communications.
