Abstract

Oral history interview with Nanyu Tomiyasu conducted by Andrew Russell on March 22, 1987.

He expands on the impact of the 1922 railroad strike, particularly in regard to the Japanese population in the city. He recounts the general lack of discrimination and segregation against Japanese residents in Las Vegas, how Japanese families integrated with the community and how they maintained their cultural traditions.
