Episode 2: Cultivating Community

Last week, we were introduced to Gresham’s first Japanese settler - Miyo Iwakoshi. In episode 2 of Voices of Gresham, we'll take a closer look at how the issei, and their nisei children, followed in Miyo's footsteps to put down their own roots. Their families' experiences were much like those of many early 20th century American immigrants. Joy and hope were often coupled with tragedy and loss and would define the lives of Japanese American immigrants during the first half of the 20th century.
