Quotes by Duncan Ryūken Williams (?)

“Masumi Kimura (her maiden name) was ten years old and living with her parents in Madera, California, when the Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. More than sixty years later, she still vividly recalled the tension and fear that gripped her family and hometown that December day. Word had quickly spread that all the Buddhist priests at the nearby Fresno Buddhist Temple had been arrested, and white teenagers had shot up the temple’s front door.”
― Duncan Ryūken Williams, American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War
