Broken TrustRally of Solidarity for Japantown ‘Y’ By Ethen Lieser Longtime Japantown resident Dave Tatsuno stood on a podium in front of hundreds of gatherers at the “Broken Trust” rally at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California on July 12. In a hoarse voice worn by age, Tatsuno, an active member of the YWCA for over 50 years, disappointedly said, “It’s a shame.” The shame wasn’t in the rally itself, but rather the reason for the rally. Japanese Americans of all generations attended this monumental event to enforce what they say was a promise made by the San Francisco YWCA that the YWCA building, 1830 Sutter St., would be held in trust for the community, and not for making profits. |
