Tamiko Nimura—Writer and Biographer of Senator Rosa Franklin

March 12, 2020

Writer Tamiko Nimura joins the podcast today to talk about her life as a writer, writing the biography of State Senator Rosa Franklin, the first African-American woman to serve in the Washington State Senate.

We also talk about the Day of Remembrance in May, which commemorates the incarceration of Japanese-American citizens by the United States and the ways Tamiko helps raise local awareness for Tacoma’s lost Japantown.

Note—in the opening credits, we preview the show ABBA: The Concert at Tacoma Arts Live that has now been cancelled.
