Elder to the Japanese Canadians

Overview:

Kennedy Sensei went as a missionary to mid-Japan in 1894. Called to British Columbia before the First World War broke out in 1915, Kennedy oversaw the ministry to all orientals there. He died in 1930, after advocating in the media for Japanese Canadian rights. This biography was first written in Japanese, and appears in English for the first time ever. Official memorials are included, along with an essay by the Rev. Dr. Roland M. Kawano providing context to Kennedy's work.
