In his 2009 oral history interview, retired William & Mary professor Satoshi Ito discusses a number of experiences from throughout his life including growing up in California, internment during World War II, his education, his career as a professor of sociology at the College of William & Mary, and his activities after retiring from his academic career.
Ito's 2005 oral history interview, which focused on the founding of the Black Studies program at W&M, was for the "Stony the Road We Trod," which was an independent study project conducted by William & Mary student Jenay Jackson '05. This oral history project was intended to serve as the initial part of an ongoing project to document African American history at the William & Mary. Ms. Jackson interviewed university administrators, faculty, and alumni.
