On Tuesday I read this book to a class of third graders. It is about a young man who became the first #Japanese person to live in the United States in the 1840s, right here in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. Many Japanese visitors come to Fairhaven because of the connection with #Manjiro #Nakahama. #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #USHistory #Japan

On July 4, 1918, then Massachusetts Lt. Gov Calvin Coolidge delivered remarks on U.S.-Japan relations.
