On January 26th, at the office of the Consulate General of Japan in New York, Grant Ujifusa, Redress Strategy Chair of the Japanese American Citizens League, was given the Order of the Rising Sun by the Japanese government for his role in securing a measure of redress for 110,000 Japanese Americans forced into internment camps during World War II. For the Japanese, the Order of the Rising Sun is the equivalent of a knighthood.
