Wayne H. Maeda (1947-2013) was born in Dayton, Ohio. His parents, Masao and Ayako Maeda, were Japanese Americans formerly
interned in Arizona during World War II. After Wayne's birth, his family moved to Sacramento, California where he graduated
from high school in 1965. In 1967, he graduated from Sacramento City College and later, in 1969, received his B.A. in Social
Science from California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). He completed his M.A. in Social Science in 1976.
