Description

Sadie Doi was born in 1929 in Waimea on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Her parents immigrated to Hawaii from Niigata, Japan and worked at the dairy owned by Alan Faye, where Doi grew up. Doi was a child at the start of World War II and experienced the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and the effects of martial law while she was still in school. After high school, Doi moved to Texas for college in 1950 and studied elementary education in Brownsville. In this interview, Doi discusses growing up, attending school, and working in Hawaii during the war, her experience as a Japanese American after Pearl Harbor, moving to Texas for school, and being considered American in Japan.
