Sub-subseries consists of a single scrapbook of newspaper clippings (and isolated photographs) compiled by Shunzo Sakamaki, a professor of history at the University of Hawaii and member of an organization called the Oahu Citizens’ Committee for Home Defense. Formed in early 1941, the Oahu Citizens’ Committee for Home Defense was composed of Americans of Japanese ancestry who worked with the territorial authorities to evaluate the activities of the island’s Japanese community and highlight and encourage the loyalty of Americans of Japanese ancestry to the United States. The clippings in the scrapbook are from the Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, The Hawaii Hochi, and Nippu Jiji. The contents of the scrapbook concern efforts by Americans of Japanese ancestry to renounce their Japanese citizenship. The scrapbook also contains a copy of a petition of 1940 November 30 with twenty-six signatures sent to the Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, requesting the simplification of expatriation procedures for Americans of Japanese ancestry with dual citizenship. Also included is a letter dated 1941 July 1 to Sakamaki from M.H. McIntyre, Secretary to the President of the United States, thanking him for his activities on behalf of the nation’s welfare. Photographs from the scrapbook are stored separately.
