RACISM AND JAPANESE AMERICANS: A VASHON PERSPECTIVE

Join Friends of Mukai President Rita Brogan, Friends of Mukai committee member Dr. Joe Okimoto and Historian Bruce Haulman as they look at how the Japanese American Community experienced racism on Vashon and the Northwest through the decades. We will hear about the pre-war and post-war years, personal stories of internment and stories that take us to a discussion of today. Join us as we look at social justice, immigration and the changing face of the Japanese American Community.

THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNER
