00:11.460 --> 00:17.010
(Barbara Kawakami) I think most of them
are about 4’6” to about 4’8”,

00:17.010 --> 00:21.660
and they used to carry that heavy bag
with the baby on the back

00:21.660 --> 00:22.840
and the equipment.

00:22.840 --> 00:27.320
They used to drag it on the ground
as they went to work.

00:29.450 --> 00:32.120
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
Ok. What is this picture of?

00:32.120 --> 00:35.790
(Barbara Kawakami) This is the 1920 strike
when the womenfolks marched along

00:35.790 --> 00:36.650
with the men.

00:36.650 --> 00:40.570
They went to the Depot Road
and from there, they took

00:40.570 --> 00:43.880
the Oahu Railway train to Honolulu.

00:43.880 --> 00:47.420
From there, they walked
all the way through Downtown.

00:47.420 --> 00:49.980
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
And you said Arakawa’s was over here?

00:49.980 --> 00:52.140
(Barbara) Arakawa’s is
on the left side of that picture.

00:52.140 --> 00:53.660
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
Where that man is?

00:53.660 --> 00:55.130
(Barbara)
Yes, somewheres around there,

00:55.130 --> 00:56.040
that little lane.

00:56.040 --> 01:04.320
Mrs. Endo is there,
the first one I think is Mrs. Endo.

01:04.320 --> 01:05.720
- (Joy) This one here?
- (Barbara) Yes.

01:05.720 --> 01:09.740
And the second one is Mrs. Matsu Watanabe.

01:11.170 --> 01:13.470
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
The one with the face facing us?

01:13.470 --> 01:14.710
(Barbara)
Yes. Her younger sister.

01:14.710 --> 01:16.450
(Joy) I wonder
if they’re trying to hide their faces?

01:16.450 --> 01:18.700
(Barbara Kawakami)
Yes, they’re so shy, camera shy

01:18.700 --> 01:20.750
that in those days, they used to hide.

01:20.750 --> 01:23.420
Mrs. Yoshida said she was
somewheres in the front.

01:23.420 --> 01:28.410
[instructions to cameraman]

01:28.410 --> 01:31.620
(Joy Chong-Stannard) So the one
on the right we think is Mrs. Endo.

01:31.620 --> 01:33.080
(Barbara Kawakami)
Mrs. Endo, yes.

01:33.080 --> 01:37.080
She was still single at the time,
she got married late.

01:38.300 --> 01:40.100
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
Is there anyone else in this photo

01:40.100 --> 01:41.120
that we talked to?

01:41.120 --> 01:42.870
(Barbara Kawakami) Mrs. Sato too.

01:42.870 --> 01:44.660
- (Barbara) She’s somewhere in that crowd.
- (Joy) We don’t know where.

01:44.660 --> 01:47.730
(Barbara Kawakami)
No, she doesn’t know where she’s standing.

01:48.830 --> 01:52.960
But they’re the only survivors,
the four of them from the 194…

01:52.960 --> 01:54.370
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
Ok.

02:03.140 --> 02:05.680
This is Mrs. Yoshida.

02:05.680 --> 02:06.860
(Barbara Kawakami)
Mrs. Kiku Yoshida.

02:06.860 --> 02:07.810
(Joy Chong-Stannard)
Kiku?

02:07.810 --> 02:10.110
(Barbara Kawakami)
Kiku Yoshida.
