“Resilience and Resistance”

Uncover stories of resilience and injustice as best-selling author Daniel James Brown (Facing the Mountain, The Boys in the Boat) and historian Tom Ikeda, founder of the Densho Project, delve into the deeply personal stories of Japanese-Americans during WWII. From the forced removal of families from their homes to the resilience displayed in American concentration camps, they will examine how a community endured discrimination while many of its young men courageously served in the all Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team. This powerful discussion reminds us why protecting civil liberties for all is more critical than ever.
