Yone Noguchi (1875-1947) was a writer, poet, essayist, and literary critic with published works in both English and Japanese. He is also known for being the father of renowned sculptor, Isamu Noguchi. In the late 1890s, Yone arrived in California and began traveling through the United States for the next several years. During that time, he worked for a newspaper run by Japanese exiles in San Francisco who had been associated with the Freedom and People's Rights Movement, a political and social movement for democracy in Japan in the 1880s.

During Yone's time in the United States, he was involved in romantic relationships with both men and women. He met American author, Charles Warren Stoddard in California and the pair wrote love letters to one other over the course of their relationship. He also began affairs with two women, Ethel Armes and Léonie Gilmour, with whom he had two children, Isamu Noguchi and Ailes Gilmour.

In 2012, author Amy Sueyoshi wrote a book, Queer Compulsions: Race, Nation, and Sexuality in the Affairs of Yone Noguchi, documenting the romantic entanglements of Yone Noguchi, specifically his relationship with Charles Warren Stoddard. In a 2013 interview, Sueyoshi discusses sexuality, race and intimacies within Noguchi's life. She noted, "I wanted to queer the way we think about relationships. I wanted to fight against assumptions about what 'real' love is or supposed to be, the idea that the most 'significant' love is measured in terms of engagement, or marriage."

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

#OTD in 1944 the @HeartMountainWY Sentinel published a notice seeking workers for a labor camp in Provo, Utah, where Japanese American incarcerees had gone the previous year. But it would be a tough sell. 1/2 https://t.co/MWMtg65Z0H

Shigeru Yabu was 10 years old when he and his family were incarcerated at @HeartMountainWY. In camp, he adopted a magpie he called Maggie. Read his book Hello Maggie with Willie Ito and wish Shig, a devoted board member, a happy 89th birthday!

30,000 Japanese American soldiers served in World War II, fighting for a country that imprisoned many of them and their families. They were patriots, and so were those who resisted the draft because they were imprisoned because of their ethnic origin.

Portland educators gathering in support of teaching accurate history know that if you can’t teach about racism, you can’t teach the truth. Asian immigrants helped build the country, but were abused, ignored and then eventually banned from moving here.

The @HeartMountainWY Sentinel was probably the best of the newspapers in the 10 WRA camps. #OTD it announced that most of its original staff was leaving or had left, often for jobs around the country or the military. 1/3 https://t.co/vhcVsPMHeB
