ASIAN AMERICAN HISTORY AT INTERNATIONAL FALLS MINNESOTA

Jun Fujita Cabin - Asian American History International Falls, Minnesota
Located in Voyageurs National Park, on an island at Rainy Lake, the Jun Fujita Cabin illuminates several aspects of the Asian experience in America. Jun Fujita became the first Japanese American photojournalist. Fujita was a photographer, artist, and poet, who immigrated from Japan to Canada during his late teens. The young Fujita found work as a photographer with the Chicago Evening Post (which later was absorbed into the Chicago Evening News in the 1930s) in 1915. He photographed celebrated figures, such as presidents Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, and Theodore Roosevelt; Al Capone; and Clarence Darrow. He covered famous events such as the sinking of the USS Eastland in the Chicago River in 1915. Later, he devoted himself to artistic endeavors as a photographer and painter. Fujita gained fame in the 1920s as a poet, writing in haiku and tanka forms. During the late 1920s, he either commissioned or constructed the cabin in International Falls. From 1928 to 1941, Fujita used the cabin as a place of relaxation and reflection, which may have been an influence on his art. Fujita built his summer cabin on a secluded island in Voyageurs National Park. Inspired by the flowers, forests, and landscapes of the park, Fujita wrote award-winning poems at the cabin. Though Fujita is renowned as a trailblazer in the AAPI community. #InternationalFalls

AAPI HOUSING DISCRIMINATION FACTS:

"The studies showed that AAPIs were treated less favorably compared to the white people when searching for housing. In the most recent study, AAPI tester were told about 9.8 percent fewer available rental properties than comparably qualified white counterparts and were shown 6.6 percent fewer units. The difference in treatment was especially notable in the sales market, where testing found that AAPI tester were told about 15.5 percent fewer available properties for sale than their white counterparts and were shown 18.8 percent fewer properties. The difference in treatment were found across the country. The discrimination in housing markets has been worsen by the myth that Asian Americans are not discriminated against. Because of this assumption it has also influence how policymakers shape a range of housing related policies."
