Description |
Monrovia_News_Post_1947_02_05_1.jpg. Article about Satoru Tsuneishi and a memorial in Library Park. In 1947, Satoru submitted a poem for a plaque on the Library Park Memorial Fountain outside Monrovia Public Library (Monrovia News-Post, 5 Feb 1947, pg 1); The newspaper also provided some background about him, noting his sons' military service. His submission was ultimately not selected, but its timing and context are noteworthy. Coming just after the war, it's possible that the selection of a poem written by a native Japanese would have been an issue for some. |
