At Oregon Nikkei Endowment Banquet tonight met John Tateishi, former National Redress Director of Japanese American Citizens League. John fought racism and injustice of internment of Japanese Americans during WWII & continues to make that fight for all Americans today. An honor!

I #loveteaching when Olivia, Xander, Zoey, Yuumi or any one of my Japanese language students ask for a break in maintaining target language ("May I speak in English, Bacon-Brenes Sensei?"), get turned down and then persist. Success, smiles & fist bumps often follow.
