As Tad says in the film, &#8216;We didn&#8217;t know what YB stood for and we really didn&#8217;t care &#8211; all we cared about was having fun.&#8217; As they grew, they learned that YB stood for &#8216;Yellow Brotherhood&#8217;, a self-help group formed by a gang called &#8216;The Ministers&#8217; to help youth get off drugs. Only later did they realize how the tradition of Yellow Brotherhood&#8217;s dedication to personal and political development helped them through their own problems and empowered them to carry on its legacy of creating and serving community. Features never-before-seen stills and footage of Los Angeles&#8217; Japanese American community in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-934\" src=\"https:\/\/tadashinakamura.com\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/TAD_laurels_complete_v2-4701-300x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tadashinakamura.com\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/TAD_laurels_complete_v2-4701-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tadashinakamura.com\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/TAD_laurels_complete_v2-4701-129x55.jpg 129w, https:\/\/tadashinakamura.com\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/TAD_laurels_complete_v2-4701.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INSTITUTIONAL PURCHASE (2003) TRT: 18 Min.
