  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, today, I want to remember a stalwart leader 
in the Japanese American community, Grayce Uyehara, who passed away 
recently on June 22nd.
  Grayce was a leading force in organizing and drawing attention to the 
Redress campaign--with her well-known Action Alerts and grassroots 
mobilization efforts--during her tenure as the executive director of 
Japanese American Citizens League's Legislative Education Committee.
  Her commitment to the Japanese American community, as well as this 
country more broadly, was a stunning display of courage and dedication 
in seeking justice for injustices throughout.
  Her legacy will be one not only of justice and fairness, but of true 
leadership and perseverance.
