Los Angeles community activist Miya Iwataki fights to preserve and protect LA’s Little Tokyo, one of the last official Japanese enclaves in the US.

The plight of migrant farmworkers can be invisible, but that’s where Jesusa Rivera comes in. She grew up picking strawberries and potatoes with her family from Texas to South Bend, Indiana.
