2020年总统奖章获得者玛丽埃尔·冢本的遗产取决于遗产
2021年7月8日
玛丽埃尔·b·冢本(Marielle B. Tsukamoto)记得1942年的一个早晨,她和家人被从弗罗林的家中带走,在日本的拘留营里被关押了三年。
小时候的这段经历激发了冢本对正义的持久热情,使他成为一名杰出的教育家、社区领袖和民权活动家。
冢本是弗洛林日裔美国公民联盟的前任主席,该联盟是最古老、最活跃的当地社区组织之一,致力于教授跨文化理解和促进所有人的公民权利。
A lifelong educator, Tsukamoto served as principal of C.W. Dillard Elementary in Elk Grove Unified School District and as a vice principal at other schools, including Mary Tsukamoto Elementary, the school named after her mother.
Her outstanding service to society and the public good earned Tsukamoto the 2020 President’s Medal for Distinguished Service.
“This honor is very touching and special to me because it was presented by President Robert Nelsen,” she said. “I have witnessed the positive changes he has made on the campus and so admire his leadership, dedication and commitment to serve each and every student who comes to 囊状态.
“囊状态 also serves the community as an educational institution as well as a central location for events, conferences and a place for information and discussion. It makes 萨克拉门托 a university city.”
萨克拉门托 State’s Japanese American Archival Collection was created in 1994 with a gift of photographs, artifacts, and documents from Tsukamoto’s mother, who encouraged others in the local Japanese American community to donate their internment-era memorabilia to the University.
冢本是麋鹿格罗夫地区奖学金基金会、麋鹿格罗夫多元文化节和纪念时间教育项目的志愿者,这是一个一年一度的活动,始于麋鹿格罗夫,现在在萨克拉门托的加州博物馆举行。
1956年,冢本在从太平洋大学毕业之前就读于博彩平台。
