Japanese American Experience & Incarceration during World War II: Could It Happen Again?

Join Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) for a special event with speakers Sam Mihara and Madeline Sugimoto. Mihara is a distinguished speaker on Japanese American culture and history and Sugimoto is the daughter of renowned Japanese American artist Henry Sugimoto.

Recent actions taken by the Trump administration make this a timely and important discussion. In conjunction with the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the US Government to mass-incarcerate Japanese Americans, this event will give attendees the opportunity to learn how discrimination and intolerance directly affected the lives of Japanese Americans, and why this experience must never be repeated.

The panel will be moderated by George Hirose, Co-President, JACL NY
