James Fumio Murakami, a Santa Rosa engineer, was national president of the Japanese American Citizens League in the 1970s when the group launched the successful campaign for the U.S. government to pay redress to those interned during World War II.
Industrious until the end, Murakami died Saturday after he collapsed while helping his son change the oil in a tractor on his family's Laguna Road ranch near Forestville. He was 85.
