Best of Studs Terkel
George Nakashima (10/10/1977)
Born in Spokane, Washington, George Nakashima (1905-1990) was a master craftsman and M.I.T.-trained architect who created some of the most iconically beautiful and organic wood furniture of the twentieth century. He also survived an internment camp in Idaho where Japanese Americans were forced to live during World War II. Nakashima spoke with Studs Terkel in 1977.
