OTD in 1843, a 16 year old fisherman arrived in the U.S. after being rescued from shipwreck by an American crew. Manjiro became 1st Japanese national to set foot in America. He later returned to Japan; Pres. Coolidge would deem him our "first ambassador." https://t.co/r9c1GT9Dln https://t.co/wbguqEfUm6 — PolitiTweet.org
