more on ronald takaki

The San Francisco Chronicle has another story on the life and work of Ronald Takaki, the pioneering UC Berkeley ethnic studies professor who died last week taking his own life after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. He left a legacy as one of the most influential scholars on race and ethnicity in the nation. He was 70: Ronald Takaki, Cal ethnic studies pioneer, dies.

Professor Takaki is survived by his wife, Carol; and his three children, Todd of El Cerrito, Troy of Los Angeles and Dana of Chester, Conn. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Professor Takaki's name to the Asian Law Caucus, 55 Columbus Ave., San Francisco, CA 94111. Plans for a campus memorial service are pending.
