Who is the real American
Bob Sakata was born in San Jose, California, a second generation, Japanese American (Nisei). When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, Bob was working as a farm hand. Because of war hysteria, racism, and political leadership, most Japanese living on the West Coast were put in prison camps. All of their belongings were taken away and they were allowed to take one suitcase each.
The camps were in remote and most often undesirable places. One such a place was named Amache in Southern Colorado. The camp at Amache was recently made a National Park and some of the buildings, streets, etc.will be rebuilt to show how Japanese citizens lived through the war years.
The Sakata family was assigned to Topaz in California, a concentration camp holding 8,130 citizens and non-citizens alike. After World War II ended many chose to move to Colorado because Governor Ralph Carr spoke out against the imprisonment of the Japanese and welcomed them to his state. The Sakatas were among them.
Bob and his wife Joanna and their children were able to buy 40 acres with a generous time to pay off the mortgage. Over the years Bob Sakata's family built and expanded their farm to 3,200 acres. Bob took ten years of experimenting to develop Sakata Sweet Corn which is popular all over the west. He markets 25 million ears of corn annually.
Bob Sakata has proven that with patience and determination one can overcome the challenges and live the American Dream. Bob died this year in June in his late nineties.
