JAPANESE-AMERICAN ORGANIZATIONS

	JACL Seattle Chapter This site says the organization "has been unafraid to tackle difficult and, often, controversial issues related to the wartime experience of our community and other civil rights issues. The exceptional pioneers who sustained our organization during one of the most difficult periods in US history laid a strong foundation for the work of future generations of Japanese Americans who believe strongly in the principles of justice, equality and fair play."

	Japan-Guide.Com A handy resource for various Japanese cultural and other information.
	Father Ryan High School A site maintained by students in the Honors Computer Science Class at Father Ryan High School in Nashville, Tennessee.

Interesting. [SITE MAY BE DOWN]
