| ACTIVITY: Diversity Film and Book Talk with Bruce Yamashita | LOCATION: HUB Auditorium |
| DESCRIPTION:
Signing and Book Talk
Bruce Yamashita April 26, 2004 A Most Unlikely Hero - Documentary Film Fighting Tradition: A Marine's Journey to Justice - Book 7:00 PM Documentary Film Screening Conversation & Book Signing with Bruce Yamashita HUB Auditorium Admission is FREE and open to the public Seating is limited, so please arrive early! He just wanted to serve his country. Instead, he changed it. This is not only is a moving story of vision and personal sacrifice, but contributes both directly and indirectly to our understanding of the complexities of institutional racism in a politically conservative and demographically shifting society. Determined to be a U.S. Marine Corps officer, Bruce Yamashita enrolled in Officer Candidate School, where he was the target of persistent racial harassment by officers and staff. After enduring nine weeks of emotional and physical abuse, two days before graduation, Yamashita was "disenrolled" in April 1989--kicked out of the Marine Corps because of the color of his skin. Yamashita's story is of his courageous struggle to expose an on-going pattern of racial discrimination against minorities that has existed at various levels of the Marine Corps. With the support of a broad coalition of community and civil rights organizations, the Hawai`i-born law school graduate fought a five-year-long legal, political, and media battle against the military establishment that ended in his commissioning as a captain and the revision of Marine Corps policies and procedures. This is a unique window into the dynamics of race, government, and the law and a stirring reminder of the importance of political mobilization by the individual and community to achieve justice.
