The very first JACL lobbyist was Suma Sugi. Although largely forgotten to history, Sugi played an important role in the early days of the JACL. (One of the neglected but fascinating aspects of the JACL, an organization historically dominated by men, is that many young, talented women played central roles in its history.)
