Sei Fujii (藤井 整, 1882–1954) was a human rights activist for Japanese-American individuals. He also established a California daily newspaper in 1931.[1]

Life

Sei Fujii was born in Shūtō, Japan (as of 2013, Yamaguchi).[2] After dropping out of Yamaguchi High School in the old system,[1] he moved to the United States in 1903.[1][2] He studied law at the University of Southern California[6] and graduated from USC Gould School of Law. However, he was unable to get a lawyer's license[2] because of a law that prohibited citizenship for those who were a member of "Mongolian race" and without citizenship he was unable to acquire a law license.[8] After that, he started to fight against discrimination for Japanese immigrants with his friend J. Marion Wright, a lawyer in California.[3] In 1928, the Supreme Court permitted Japanese-Americans to establish hospitals in Los Angeles.[1] In 1948, they successfully struck down the California Alien Land Law of 1913, giving Japanese immigrants the ability to purchase land.[1] In 1952, the law limiting citizenship was judged unconstitutional,[2][3] and Fuji was finally able to acquire his citizenship at the age of 73.[8] "He died by heart attack 51 days later," according to the Los Angeles Times.[8]

"Lil Tokyo Reporter"

In 2012, the narrative short film "Lil Tokyo Reporter," an independent film about the activities and advocacy of Fujii in the fight for Japanese-American human rights, was produced in the USA.[4] The film was exhibited at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival[1] and won more than 18 awards in various parts of the USA.[5] It was directed by Jeffrey Gee Chin, a Chinese-American, and starred Japanese-American Actor Chris Tashima as Fujii.[1]

Law license after his death

In 2017, California's top court decided unanimously to grant him a law license 63 years after his death.[6] According to the lawyer in the case, there are only a few cases of individuals being granted law licenses posthumously; the Los Angeles Times reported a similar case involving a Chinese immigrant.[6]
