Explore the life and legacy of legendary weightlifter
Tommy Kono (1930-2016) in this all-new online exhibit presented
in partnership with Google Arts and Culture for Asian American
Pacific Heritage Month.
Through historic photographs, video clips and artifact images,
the virtual presentation chronicles the journey of the Sacramento
native Japanese American, who began weightlifting while
incarcerated at Tule Lake and went on to set world records in
four weight classes, becoming one of the greatest Olympic
weightlifters of all time.
