ANHEUSER-BUSCH MINORU YASUI SCHOLARSHIPS The Minoru Yasui Memorial Law School Scholarship was founded with three goals in mind: 1) to honor the memory of Minoru Yasui and his many contributions to the Denver community; 2) to recognize and reward individuals and organizations who have, through their commitment to bettering their communities continued Mr. Yasui’s work of promoting civil rights and community activities; and 3) to recognize law students who have, likewise, dedicated themselves to public service. Mr. Minoru Yasui was a long-time Colorado attorney, civil rights activist and community leader. During World War II, he was interned and after his release, he practiced law in Denver. He devoted his work to challenge the discriminatory treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II and challenged the curfew order imposed on all persons of Japanese descent on the West Coast. His commitment through the years was not limited to the Japanese-American community. He was a founding member of the Urban League of Denver, the Latin American Research and Service Agency and Denver Native American United. He also served as the executive director of the Denver Commission on Community Relations and in that capacity continued to focus on issues affecting Denver’s African American, Hispanic, Native American and Asian American communities. On March 1, 1999, the City and County of Denver honored him and his lifetime accomplishments by naming the building at 303 West Colfax Avenue the Minoru Yasui Plaza. 2001 A-B MINORU YASUI FELLOW - JERICO S.
