Description
Yano begins the interview talking about being born and raised in California, playing marbles and hanging out with friends and neighbors. His family would come from Hiroshima, Japan and settle in California, his father as a farm laborer and his mother as a picture bride. Due to alien land laws, they would not be able to purchase land but would become sharecroppers and put the land in the children's names. He talks about memories with his mother and father and lists his brothers. During his childhood, he would also attend Japanese language school, learning about Japanese culture and values.
