Description

Thousands of Issei became US citizens after the federal government, in 1952, allowed them to naturalize. Masuo Yasui taught classes for other Issei, like those pictured here in a Portland “Americanization” school, so that they could obtain the English-language skills and knowledge of American history and government necessary to pass their citizenship tests.
