Grant Ujifusa was instrumental in championing reparations for Japanese Americans, advocating for the signatory bill under President Reagan, addressing historical injustices.
As a legislative strategist for the Japanese American Citizens League, Ujifusa worked tirelessly to advocate for a reparations bill, bringing awareness to the injustices faced by those forced into internment camps during World War II.
Despite not being directly affected, Ujifusa's passion stemmed from his proximity to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, which symbolized the injustices suffered by 110,000 Japanese Americans.
Ujifusa's unique background as a book editor and connection to the Japanese American community allowed him to leverage relationships on Capitol Hill effectively, making a significant impact in the fight for justice.
