Critics have called her a "destructive force." However, history has revealed Aiko Yoshinaga-Herzig as playing a role most vital in the movement for Japanese American redress. Like her beloved husband, the late John "Jack" Herzig, this highly principled woman is an inspiration for all those who stand for justice and civil liberties. A thoughtful and meaningful program for Hinamatsuri or "Girl's Day." Light reception to follow. Reservations recommended.

Selected clips from a video life history interview with Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga and the late Jack Herzig are available on the Discover Nikkei Web site.
