Biography
June Parker Goldman is a
Japanese-American woman from Forest City, Iowa. She was educated in Kobe, Japan, and in Pittsfield,
Massachusetts, where she lived with her grandparents during World War II. She graduated from Wellesley College in
1947.
Goldman was a member of the Know
Your Neighbor Panel in Des Moines. The
Know Your Neighbor Panel consisted of 13 women, mostly housewives, of different
races, religions, and beliefs. The goal
of the Panel was to "seek out and fight--even in themselves--the prejudice
that destroys brotherhood." The
Panel has received several awards including the first female Des Moines
Ambassadors, the Americanism Award, and an award for distinguished public
service in the field of adult education.
Scope
and Content Note
The June Goldman papers date from
1964 and consist of three items. The
collection is made up of two newspaper clippings about the Know Your Neighbors
Panel and a program from the First General Session of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United State in which the Know Your Neighbors Panel made a presentation.
