DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with theJapanese American National Mus
 eum. \n\nDuring World War II\, the west coast Japanese Americans lacked the
  power to overcome politics and prejudice to forestall their imprisonment b
 y the US government. Although their voices were not heard in 1942 when they
  were ordered into detention\, the incarcerees speak over the passage of ti
 me about the importance of protecting civil liberties for all. Through read
 ings\, music\, art\, and poetry\, descendants and allies of incarcerees bri
 ng life to voices featured the book When Can We Go Back to America? by Susa
 n H. Kamei (Simon & Schuster 2021). Now more than ever\, we must hear\, rem
 ember\, and carry forward their messages.\n\nThe program will feature:\n\nr
 eadings from When Can We Go Back to America? by Sansei (third-generation) a
 nd Yonsei (fourth-generation) Japanese Americans whose family members were 
 incarcerees and members of the 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Co
 mbat Team\;\n art from the exhibit “Resilience – A Sansei Sense of Legacy”\
