Richard Aoki pictured at left being arrested in 1969 was one of the few Asian Americans to be a part of The Black Panther Party in California. He was born in 1938 and his family was interred in an American Camp during War World II. Another very dark period in our history. He went to Merritt College in Oakland where he met Booby Seale and Huey Newton. I try to be aware of people who were part of civil disobedience in this country for they are often times our unsung heroes.
