Jun Fujita
Jun Fujita (Japanese: フジタ・ジュン, ''Fujita Jun'', 13 December 1888 - 12 July 1963) was an Issei photojournalist, photographer, silent film actor, and published poet in the United States. He was the first Japanese-American photojournalist. As an American, Fujita lived in Chicago, Illinois and worked for the now defunct newspapers: the ''Chicago Evening Post'', published from 1886 to 1932, and ''Chicago Daily News'', which was published 1876 to 1978. Fujita was the only photographer to document the aftermath of the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Following his death in 1963, most of his work was donated to the Chicago Historical Society, which later became the Chicago History Museum.
==Early life==
Jun Fujita was born Junnosuke Fujita (Japanese: フジタ・ジュンノスケ, ''Fujita Junnosuke'') on 13 December 1888 in a village near Hiroshima, Japan. When he was older, Fujita immigrated from Japan to Canada, where he worked odd jobs to save enough money to move to the United States of America, which he considered to be a "land of opportunity." He moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he attended and graduated from Wendell Phillips Academy High School, a four-year predominantly African-American public school whose notable alumni include Nat "King" Cole, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Archibald Carey, Jr. Following his high school graduation, he studied mathematics at the Armour Institute of Technology, which later became the Illinois Institute of Technology, with plans to become an engineer. To help pay his way through college, Fujita took a job as the first and only photojournalist at the ''Chicago Evening Post'', which later became the ''Chicago Daily News.''
