Uncertainty and Sorrow: The Unexplored Japanese Response to the Pearl Harbor Attack
Today marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor— familiar history to most Americans, but Professor Samuel Yamashita has spent years researching aspects of that fateful day that few in the U.S. have ever learned about. Poring over records and personal diaries, Yamashita chronicles how ordinary Japanese responded to news of the attack, not only through mass, orchestrated gatherings but also in individual reflections. While “nearly everyone reacted enthusiastically,” Yamashita discovered exceptions that belie the notion of a monolithic response in Japan to news of war. |

As a teenager, Autumn Martin ’19 had to venture out on her own due to a difficult family situation.

A rock-climbing injury that left her in a wheelchair didn’t hold her back. Instead it piqued her interest in medical health policy and local politics. |
