In 1942, Uno was interned with his parents and siblings at the Granada War Relocation Center in Colorado.

Following the war, Uno graduated from Los Angeles State College with a degree in political science. Later, he married Rosalind Kido, daughter of wartime national JACL president Saburo Kido. He later became involved in academia, teaching at San Francisco State University (SFSU) and various civil rights issues. Uno was active in grand jury reform, as well as in such civil rights issues as the Wendy Yoshimura Defense Fund, Title II Repeal, Redress for Evacuation, and the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), and worked on the Farewell to Manzanar television program.Uno died of a heart attack in 1976.
