Daniel Inouye
A biography of the first Congressman from the state of Hawaii who was also the first American of Japanese descent to serve in the Congress of the United States.
Journey to Washington
One of the first autobiographies by a Nisei, Journey to Washington was published as Inouye was finishing his first term as a U.S. Senator from Hawai'i and preparing to run for reelection. The book covers his life up to that time, beginning with his grandfather leaving Japan to come to America to pay off a debt and ending with his father visiting the White House to visit President John. F. Kennedy. A success story that established a template for many Nisei memoirs to come, the book reinforced the "model minority" narrative then current. The book includes three forewords, by President Lyndon Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield.
Looking to the Future
"Proceedings of a symposium held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American honoring Senator Daniel K. Inouye (1924-2012), one of history's greatest advocates for Native people. Senator Inouye was Chairman and Vice Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, and one of the visionary founders of the National Museum of the American Indian. Distinguished speakers reflect on Senator Inouye's many contributions to the well-being of Native America, and look to the future to build upon the foundation of the Senator's legacy to carry forward his work for the benefit of future generations of Native people"--Provided by publisher.
