He was involved with helping the victims in Japan in the aftermath of the tsunami. He has spoken and written extensively about civil rights and the Japanese American experience of World War II when 120,000 persons of Japanese ethnicity were forcibly removed from their west coast homes and incarcerated in camps in remote and desolate areas of the country.

He has studied the issue and has written about that period of history and about subsequent happenings within the Asian American community.
