Nakata, I.S.

Abstract:

As a Japanese-American from Hawaii, I.S. Nakata was far away from home when he first attended Black Mountain College in 1940. His first experiences with Jim Crow, university studies, and with the continental United States all took place at the college. These experiences were cut short by the United States' entry into World War II, when Nakata was drafted into the Army Air Corp. After being honorably discharged in 1942, he returned to Black Mountain College to finish his studies and married fellow student Alexa McLane.
